Empress Matilda (1102–1167) was the warrior daughter of Henry I and his chosen heir to the English throne — a woman men were expected to defer to before becoming king. When the barons instead crowned her cousin Stephen in 1135, Matilda fought to reclaim her right to rule, plunging England into nearly twenty years of civil war and lawlessness. This turbulent era was later named “The Anarchy,” not after Matilda herself, but after the chaos that followed when her sovereignty was denied.

I painted this portrait of Constance Markievicz as a celebration of the rebel women of Ireland — the women who refused to be quiet, refused to be small, and refused to accept the world as it was handed to them.
My name is Kathryn McGuinness, and with Irish blood running through my family, I’ve always felt a deep pull toward the stories of strength, defiance, and fierce love for freedom that live in our history. Constance Markievicz isn’t just an iconic woman of Ireland — she is a symbol of what it means to stand up when it would be easier to step back. She was the first woman to take up arms for Ireland, and she carried her beliefs with courage, conviction, and an unshakable fire.
I painted her because her passion feels familiar. It feels inherited.
That boldness. That refusal to bow. That unstoppable spirit.
In this piece, I wanted to capture her power as something alive — not trapped in the past, not frozen in a history book, but still burning. The green tones wrap around her like the land itself, like Ireland rising behind her, and the expression in her face holds that mix of determination and pride that only a true revolutionary carries. She looks forward, unapologetic, as if she already knows that change will come — because she’s willing to fight for it.
This painting is my tribute to her, but it’s also my tribute to every woman who came before me and every woman still fighting now. Constance Markievicz represents courage with purpose — and when I paint her, I feel that same energy running through my own veins.
Because that fire didn’t disappear.
It became part of us.
