The Back Story

The Accolade Inspired

Inspire Me Collection

Transport yourself to a realm of enchantment and inspiration with "The Accolade Inspired." This extraordinary painting was conceived during a magical Fall 2021 semester, the first back in person since the pandemic. The artist crafted a mesmerizing scene using cardboard, paper cutouts, and other found materials, drawing inspiration from the timeless masterpiece "The Accolade" by Edmund Leighton. Infused with elements from Sleeping Beauty and the captivating world of drag, this artwork showcases an ethereal world where fantasy and reality intertwine, inviting viewers to embrace their true selves and celebrate the power of connection.

The Process

I was inspired by the themes and imagery from Sleeping Beauty as well as the fairy tale set up in The Accolade by Edmund Leighton. We were assigned to create scenes to use for our final painting in class.
