Magic

“MAGIC” by TERESA FRANKS

Currently Exhibited – Robina Hospital – International Womens Day Exhibition 2026

From the “Women of the Forest” Series 2018

“Magic” Is an original airbrushed ink painting on MDF Board in a series of three (Mystery, Magic and Alchemy) featuring women and their spirit protectors.

“In my childhood and teens, I was not always protected. This made me feel lost, unworthy and often-times ugly. “Mystery”, “Magic” and “Alchemy” were created to not only show that women are beautiful no matter their colour or place in life, but also to let you know that we are always protected by our spirit animals – you just have to pay attention.”

Each fold, feather and facial embellishment were airbrushed separately with love and intention. Red signifies life force energy, passion and courage. Blue signifies peace, serenity, and connection to the divine while yellow signifies hope, happiness, and optimism. She is in a dark forest, but it is nothing to fear. Her totem, the frogmouth, reminds us that we are never alone, especially during times when we feel lonely, he tells us that we are part of everything that surrounds us, including the wilderness. Spirit is watching. So she is being led out of the darkness of the forest (her shadow life) and is being led to a place of peace with optimism and hope into a much safer world of loyalty and monogamy – she is able to be herself without compromise.

The Women Of The Forest series is currently being exhibited as part of the Creative Hub initiative at the Robina Hospital as part of the International Womens Day Exhibition on the Gold Coast, Australia.
