I am a painter, a feminist, an activist, an empowerer of women, a way changer, a space holder. Share my art - I’m usually banned from most other platforms!
People speak about “growing” Always striving Always trying to better yourself Sometimes you just need to UNGROW UNGROW the perceptions of others UNGROW society’s rules UNGROW the patriarchy’s bollocks UNGROW opinions UNGROW comparison Rip those fucking weeds from your garden by their roots.
❤️To the women who have been playing small ❤️To the women who have bitten their tongue to keep the peace ❤️To the women who have shrunken themselves for the comfort of others LISTEN TO ME 🔥Fuxk shit up 🔥Fuxk around 🔥Scream 🔥Be wild 🔥Own yourself 🔥STEP INTO YOUR POWER
Ladies - repeat after me… IF I AM TOO MUCH GO AND FIND LESS
Those days when you don’t want to get up. When you feel the world is kicking your ass. They’re the days you drag yourself up. You straighten your crown. You stick your middle finger up at the patriarchy. And you smash the shit out of your goals. Happy Friday. I love you xxxxxxxxx
💗INTUITION💗 You know, that thing when you know something, and you don’t know how, but you just know… That’s your intuition! And if you listen to it and connect to the universe… your life will turn technicolour!!! HAIL AND WELCOME AJNA (Which is the Sanskrit word for “third eye”)
I have survived all that shit You have survived all that shit We have survived all that shit And still we rise! Let’s help each other through this thing we call life… as the saying goes “we are all just walking each other home” Love you all
I have painted nearly 3,500 women From their photos Real bodies The faces of my paintings are always blank To mirror you You find a body that looks like yours and you see yourself My most common reaction is “wow, I’ve never seen a body that looks like mine in art before” We are all Goddesses
Nothing says "I fear your power" more then the need to censor it. #censorship #patriarchy
Even after the darkest night… The sun will always rise again.
Let’s have a reality check Things that are normal: Rolls Spotty arse cheeks Cellulite Sprouty chin hairs Sag Stretch marks Sweat Let’s normalise normal Because living under the false pretence of “normal” is fucking killing the souls of women who carry around the shame believing they’re abnormal
Stop shrinking yourself Stop apologising for others discomfort Take up space Lead the pack Let them see your power Make them squirm
I haven’t spoken about the patriarchy in a while At least 3 days So Fuck the patriarchy And Fuck body shaming Fuck belittling others Fuck what others think Fuck society’s ideals Fuck inequality And fuck the industries that thrive on making us all feel bad by trying to sell us “improvements”
My cat is ill… I need to pay his vet bills. If I sold all my original paintings I would be able to do that. Original paintings (30x40cm) are usually £395 But my cat is more important & for the first time ever I’m taking open offers on originals. Are any calling you. Email katshawart@gmail.com

I am enough. You are enough. Every woman is enough. Exactly as they are x #iamenough #youareenough
A butterfly cannot see her own wings. So doesn’t know how beautiful she is. That butterfly is you. Please see your own beauty xxxx
You have YOUR OWN permission every day to be glorious. Read that again. Don’t put your worth in the hands of others. Nobody else’s approval is needed. There is nothing more beautiful than when you rise unapologetically as yourself. Give yourself the permission to be glorious.
💗Here is your daily reminder that... 💗You are beautiful, glorious and worthy.... 💗OWN THAT SHIT!
There’s always shit... You will always survive... You will always rise. #goddess
The shock of my art isn’t the flesh, or the rolls, breasts that aren’t pert, scars & stretch marks The shock is the realisation that real bodies aren’t seen in society The shock is that my art is honest And beautiful Because REAL bodies are beautiful
Don’t ever forget to include yourself on the list of things you love. Don’t ever forget to include yourself on the list of things you need to take care of. Don’t ever forget to include yourself on the list of things that are important.
You fucking grew. Celebrate your stretch marks like power stripes.
🌀THE SPIRAL🌀 One of the most ancient Goddess symbols that represents the winding journeys we must take inwards if we are to truly know & love ourselves From these never-ending journeys, we return with infinitely more wisdom & power May your spiral journeys fill you with self love & body adoration
Here’s some women... They’re all different... They’re all fierce... They all have t!ts… But here’s the thing... They all do other things too... Which has nothing to do with their t!ts… Because... Get this... Women can exist in a non-s3xual capacity! Who knew?!?!
With my art I want to: Empower women Inspire self-love Show representation Encourage sisterhood Celebrate individuality Raise strength in women Promote equality Unsexualise female nakedness Banish shame Invoke confidence and pride Make every woman realise that they are worthy
No is a complete sentence. Turn around. Walk away.
