Our Story

As women, we carry a lot...often going through intensely stressful periods in life and it's easy to become locked in states of worry, anxiety and tension. Claire and Christina was born from my desire to produce an image which reminded me of her my Inner Warrior during a very challenging time. 

I've been through challenging times before and was tired. Worried that I didn't have the strength and energy to get through yet another stressful period, I had a coaching session with a wonderful female mentor who reminded me that yes, these times can be deeply uncomfortable, but we will always get through them and that my resilience meant that she would grow from this experience and deepen my Inner Warrior, so that the comfortable times to come could also be enjoyed. 

Visuals have always been a way that I could understand concepts and be reminded of things...and in my conversation with my mentor, I could clearly see an experienced woman who embodied the qualities that we talked about. I decided to create this for my wall, so I could be reminded every day. This led to me wanting to produce art for all the women out there who might need a helping visual to remind them of their Inner Warrior...that internal strength that sometimes we can forget is there. To summon the energy needed to get through the hard times. 

If you're going through a difficult time right now, I hope one of my pieces can help. If you know someone who you'd love for them to see themselves as you do, consider if one of the pieces might be of help. 

Christina was my mum. She was the original warrior woman for me... creative, determined and resilient. She died far too early in life and I wanted to honour her and bring her into this project with me. I hope she would have loved the pieces, a little bit of her is in every single one.

With love,

Claire
