A commission from the Margaret River Uniting Church 2020 Deep Listening Festival inspired me to look at my ballerina paintings from a different point of view. What is it that makes a ballerina push through all the pain and give up hours, days, months of their time training and rehearsing? Could they really do it on their own? Or is it perhaps personal discipline combined with a network of support from friends and family, encouragement from tutors and role models...?
