Refuge- Oil and gold metallic on panel, 36x60"
Young girl is standing next to a stag in a forest clearing. Her dress is tattered and wrinkled. She seems lost but the penetrating gaze of her eyes and the strong presence of the deer behind her indicates a feeling of defiance and an escape from desperation to a place of safety; a refuge. This painting is the result of the constant incidences of child exploitation that occurs daily. Trafficking, murder, slavery and abuse are intolerable and this painting is my effort to have some small positive effect on it.
