(c) 2022 Lully Schwartz, 'Birth of Venus' oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches

Painting is a powerful tool for both the artist and her audience. Here, I’m inspired by Boticelli’s Birth of Venus depicting the goddess arriving on the shore. My goddess is a contemporary women whose beauty is found in her strength. Washing away the dust of these past few years this 2022 Venus is reborn. Dedicated to all women.
