Original Piece: Oil on Canvas, 2020
From the book Unveiled. In the Bible, Rachel was the wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. Her story is one of sorrow, patience, endurance, but also deep love for Jacob. She had children but was infertile for a long time. I always found her patient endurance so inspiring and compelling. To be able to persevere when things don’t end up the way we want is so difficult and something I feel I have been learning recently. In this painting, I wanted to capture that sadness, but also a sense of her deeper strength.
