| Amanda Allen Niday, Disney Princesses Standing up for Their Rights. |
Amanda Allen Niday is a Portland born artist that focuses and uses her love for comics and Art History to create her own work. One of her more known collections is Protesting Princesses. Niday puts her feminist views into her work such as the piece above. Her work is mainly stretches and drawings for Disney or 90s cartoons and comics; she puts a spin on the traditional characters that she grow up seeing.
The artist, Amanda Allen Niday, re-imagines and displays our favorite Disney Princesses in a more feminist role in the drawing above. The idea behind her art is to get the message out to her views about the stance women take and to redefine these princesses as strong independent women. Artist Niday most likely chose Disney Princesses because young people, mainly girls grew up looking up to them and had these princesses as their role model; now grown, the same women can view these Princess in a different light.
The message portrayed by Ariel states, "Bright Young Women Sick of Swimming Ready to Stand" which can be interpreted in many ways. One can be that women are tried of following the current and instead they are going to rise and stand against the current and stand up for themselves.
