Medusa at its core is a story of a woman punished for being raped who by contrast has become a symbol of female empowerment. Imagery of her runs the spectrum from that of an ugly monster, a beautiful woman, or oftentimes just a decapitated head. For my painting I chose to depict the moment of her death, maybe a subconscious tribute on my part to another classic story of female power - Judith Beheading Holofernes. Even after becoming a powerful monster Medusa still seems resigned to her fate. This was created using traditional oil painting technique with hand dyed and marbled silver leaf in an enameled antique frame.
