“There are times when I feel overwhelmingly fragile as a woman prone to emotional whirlwinds. Then there are times when my loved ones or beliefs are provoked and I feel as ferocious as a mother bear,” says artist Lydia Fenwick.

Fenwick, a Southern California native, has a magical way of capturing connections between humanity and nature. Her artwork is a hypnotic reflection of beautiful, empowered women becoming one with the spirit animals that fascinate, strengthen, and inspire them.

The twinkling eyes of a muse can take you on an enchanting journey into a world of fantasy where darkness meets the light. Wait and you’ll find beneath her innocent flirtations lies a river of fierceness.
