Came Through the Fire Better by Martha A. Wade
Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas | Fine Art Print Available

A fierce declaration of rebirth, Came Through the Fire Better captures a woman who’s not just surviving the blaze—she is the blaze. Against a background of wild, molten color—reds, blacks, creams, and whites cascading like burning curtains—she crouches in silver and shadow, poised and powerful, her bright red afro radiating like a crown of flame.

The textured abstraction behind her evokes the chaos of trial and transformation, while her pose exudes strength, sensuality, and grounded control. She’s been through it, no doubt—but what emerged is refined, bolder, better.

This piece is a favorite for collectors drawn to art that speaks to spiritual alchemy, feminine fire, and the kind of resilience that doesn’t whisper—it roars.

Museum-quality prints available in multiple sizes. For those who know what it means to rise even stronger.
