Portrait of an Artist

Had the opportunity to attend an invite-only exhibition of work by Croi 8 (pronounced create), a collective of women artists from Counties Louth, Monaghan and Cavan today.
Entitled 'She...who could have been me' it was a challenging and thought-provoking exhibition inspired by a poem written by one of the group which muses at how different their lives might have been had they been born in another time, country or society.
This is one of the artists, Petra, a Swede who has made her home in Ireland.

I like the sound of the event, and can easily appreciate why it would be thought provoking.
Glad that you had a good time, and hope it was inspirational (for all) too.

Good call to keep the main light off her face; that probably would have washed her out a bit much. Here it just spotlights parts of her body.
