MY PEN, MY SWORD Jane Caro AM Oil on Aluminium 95 cm w x 100 cm h $5,000 Artist’s Statement Jane Caro AM possesses a strong and fearless voice. I was drawn to paint her particularly because of her views on feminism. Speaking with Jane is always eye-opening and makes you question the subliminal sexism that surrounds us. Jane has also published twelve books and I found it intriguing how she could take historical themes and still thread her inimitable style of feminism throughout the stories. So Jane is painted here with a twist of historical and contemporary, making a difference through the power of her pen, her thoughts, and her courage to speak out. |
