Trust me when I tell you there is more to tonight's Toil Girl in the spotlight--Jessica Gagnon--than meets the eye. On the surface we see a beautiful confident woman. Beneath that is much more. Here's Jessica to explain the persona she wanted conveyed in her art.

 

"So concept is both pretty and powerful. I love being feminine and wearing make up and sequins or pin-up dresses but I also want to show I could still kick someone's ass in a battle like Maze in "Lucifer", Captain Marvel, or Rosa Diaz in "Brooklyn 99". In other words, pretty, strong women who will definitely win in a fight with the aid of brawn and strategic wit.

As far as attire is concerned, I'm happy to have skin showing and whatever outfit that conveys that I can and will kick ass if necessary."

Thanks for giving me a visual and personality base to "draw" from, Jessica. I hope I hit the mark with the finished art. And thank you also for helping to make the portrait gallery here an art palace of strength, confidence and beauty.
