"For most of my twenties I analysed my body for its imperfections, until I realised I am perfect, we all are and our naked flesh is nothing to be ashamed of. Our bodies are one of the most beautiful, magical and natural things in the world. Today I love my body, she taught me to embrace all of me and made me realise just how unique I am.

Now in my thirties, I feel more beautiful than ever.

I look at this painting and see how open and confident she is, and I am proud of her."
