Oh-Oh-Phelia in House & Garden, March 2019

Super excited to report that my painting "Wear Your Rue with a Difference" is featured in House & Garden, in the "The Art Edit" section. I feel so fancy.

I made Ophelia in "Rue" so that my other Shakespeare painting, "Beware my Sting" featuring Kate from Taming of the Shrew, could have a companion. I'm trying to view these heroines through the lens of they're pissed rather than the typical female role, both from that era or everything coming after that!!! 

My Ophelia, rather than tragic, rues the fact that the two men in her life that she loved the most had so much power over her that they could drive her mad and drive her to death. She's back and she has unfinished business. She is going to "wear her rue with a difference".

I plan on making at least one more in this series - which I'm tentatively calling "Vexed". 

Which Shakespeare heroine with an attitude would you like to see?

PS: Both Ophelia and Kate are available for purchase. They are $1200. For enquiries, contact me at karin@karinbolstad.com.
