Additional Information

Radiant Resilience by Kay Shanley reflects Kay’s own journey of growing up in a childhood marked by turmoil and a lack of love. The woman depicted symbolises the inner strength and resilience she found despite those challenges. Surrounded by flowers, she embodies the beauty Kay worked to cultivate—not just in her surroundings, but within herself. Kay is drawn to painting portraits of women because their strength, resilience, and grace mirror her own experiences. Though her past left scars, she has grown into someone who radiates from within. This piece is a celebration of that transformation, a testament to resilience and growth.

This original oil painting was a finalist in the Henry Jones Art Prize 2024.
