Free Spirit

Free Spirit, Rowena J Draper, Somerset

Mixed media acrylic painting with textiles and pearled beads, hand-sewn onto canvas and set within a wooden ornate frame. A piece close to my heart, Free Spirit embodies the freedom I felt while travelling and busking in Mexico many moons ago. It carries my love for the open road and a life lived untethered. The work also nods to worlds beyond the physical — where death is not an ending, but a sacred reminder to live fully, brightly, unapologetically. A celebration of aliveness in all its realms.
