​Artist’s Statement
This is Ali Oetjen.  Ali is a Healthy Lifestyle Advocate and TV personality, best remembered as the “Australian Bachelorette 2018".  Consequently, Ali is featured here with a symbolic Rose Regal headdress, but instead of red roses, I have depicted colors according to her Numerology.
 
Ali is a Boxing exercise coach and has written a Healthy Eating Cookbook, hence her gloves represent both Boxing and Oven mitts, with a modern take on 1950s glamour.  We met at a Yoga retreat and I found Ali to be a great sport, easy company, astute and very dedicated to whatever she puts her mind to.
 
This portrait was submitted to the Darling Portrait Prize.
