{"product_id":"she-wears-her-story","title":"She Wears Her Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe are all made from the things we have carried with us — memories, places, people, seasons of joy and moments that have changed us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn She Wears Her Story, these fragments become part of the woman herself. Layers of patterned and vintage-inspired collage are woven through her flowing cloak, creating a patchwork of colour, memory and experience. Look closely and small details begin to emerge — glimpses of imagery almost hidden within the folds, waiting to be discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting explores one of the themes I return to again and again in my work: the stories women carry, and the quiet strength that comes from having lived them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichly layered with oil paint, collage and touches of gold, this is a painting designed to reveal itself slowly. From across the room, she has presence and drama; up close, there is an entirely different world within the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe Wears Her Story was awarded the People’s Choice Award at the 2026 Rotary Club of Hobart Art Show, selected from an exhibition of more than 400 artworks — a particularly meaningful honour for a painting that is, at its heart, about the beauty of an individual story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kay Shanley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67617955610735,"sku":null,"price":2850.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2078\/9615\/files\/69164a62e1b8ea140711df10_she-wears-her-story-finished_1790750431232.jpg?v=1790750468","url":"https:\/\/www.theonlineartgallery.com.au\/products\/she-wears-her-story","provider":"The Online Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
