The Yellow Butterfly, 60.96x91.44cm, Acrylic on Canvas, 2020. (Empowering Women Series) During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I spent many hours in my studio working on a series aimed to express the emotions and the strength of women. This artwork wants to symbolize hope during difficult times. The abstract section on the left, filled with unknown objects upon which the female figure is seated, represents the uncertainty . Light is shining towards a field of floral happiness and the yellow butterfly is there as a sign, a beacon of new life and hope. Artist: Jill Moody-Ledbetter
