I have been wanting to paint Aesha since I first saw her on the
cover of Time magazine. Aesha was just a 19 year old Afghanistan teenager
when she escaped to America after her ears and nose were brutally cut off
by her husband for trying to run away. Aesha's story is overwhelming
with injustice and pain but also courage and inspiration to women everywhere.

Wow, I cried reading that. This is the first time I've heard of Aesha. She's such an inspiration, strong and beautiful woman.

ReplyDeleteI love the fludity of this picture, and despite Aesha missing parts of her face, you have painted her in a manner that is sensitive and portrayed her in a beautiful way. Her eyes are haunting.
