Thorns Don’t Ask for Permission 🦌🖤

She sits still, guarded by antlers and watched by ravens. Not fragile — just done explaining herself. This is the moment where innocence hardens into awareness, where silence becomes armor. Nature doesn’t apologize for its defenses. Neither does she.

If this image resonates with your own quiet defiance or inner wilderness, pass it on. Let it find someone who needs the reminder. 🖤✨

Its Smoke And Mirrors by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com

Her mask may hide her identity, but it does not hide who she is. It is a statement piece that tips her attire over the top, she loves the attention, she is dramatic and drama all rolled into one!

A bold, vibrant, and unapologetically dramatic piece. She wears oversized peacock feather earrings and gazes directly at you, illuminated by soft light that dances across her lips and eyes.

The background swirls with smoky textures and glitch-like patterns in pink, purple, and blue — creating a mystical, layered atmosphere. It’s part portrait, part illusion, and all attitude.

Created using my Ether Art technique — hand-drawn digitally from a blank canvas — this piece blends surreal symbolism with fashion-forward flair.

It’s Smoke And Mirrors is perfect for collectors of expressive female portraits, mystical art, and bold contemporary décor. Available across fine art prints, canvases, apparel, and home décor.
