Women's Wednesdays is an original art project by Ronnie which features internationally capped women's rugby players (chosen from his followers' suggestions each week).

Women's Wednesdays is about doing something in my power to help raise the profile of women in sports, particularly rugby. Partly influenced by Pop Surrealism, I usually tie something into the narrative that has been inspired by video games.
The artwork was made by using a combination of long exposure (light painting) photography and digital art techniques. This is the second piece from the project and features New Zealand rugby player - Hooker - Fiao'o Faamausili.
Fi is another absolute legend of rugby and a multiple-times world cup winner. For those of you who still thinks rugby is just for men, take a look at the 2017 world cup final v England. What a game!
The video game I took inspiration from is the remake of Final Fantasy VII because it is based on strategy, something that this very successful skipper got right. The swings of swords and other movements in the video game produced sparks. Hence the inclusion of sparks for the throw in.
