Body painting Project R&D

Here are some painting and illustrations exploring cultural traditions of body painting around the world.

A Mendi Girl – Papua New Guinea.

This has been an amazing project to be apart of I have found so much information and inspirational practices from all over the world. Also we’ve had the opportunity to to connect with body painting artists around the world including Bella Vollen. Ive created a blog documenting my research findings and still have lots more posts to create – I found so many amazing and inspiring cultural traditions and through the research realised just how important it was to share, all the forms of education of these cultural practices I found are so important. As many of these beautiful and artistic forms of cultural expression are dying out due to globalisation and our ever evolving world.
