Monday Mural - Woman

Another mural I found when on holidays in Portugal in August/September 2017.
Painted around the corner from a pastry shop in the suburb of Torre, Cascais, (Portugal) by Jacqueline de Montaigne, a Anglo/Portuguese visual artist and human rights activist.

Jacqueline was born in Lisbon, raised in Saudi Arabia, Scotland and East Asia, returning to live in Portugal at the age of 20.

    Beautiful mural, kinda "liberating" - and what an exciting life in only 20 years, too!
