WILMAAAAAA!!!
 
Here she is. Wilma Flintsone, displaying pure prehistoric glamour.
 
This original acrylic painting by Macclesfield artist Ava Reid reimagines Wilma Flintstone, one of animation’s most enduring leading ladies, with charm and colour.
 
Her voluminous orange hair sits like a crown above a rosy, expressive face, while her iconic white dress is created in Ava’s signature style, layered circles that radiate against a richly textured background alive with swirling shapes in sage, blue, mauve, burgundy and gold.
 
Wilma captured Ava with her maternal warmth, and the quiet authority she holds at the heart of her family and community.
 
In Ava's eyes Wilma she stands front and centre, exactly where she belongs.

About the Collection
 
This painting is one of nine original paintings created for MaccPow 2026, Macclesfield's comic art festival, celebrating the town's rich creative heritage. Ava was commissioned to depict females from the world of comics and comic art, characters whose vibrancy, cheekiness, or strength of spirit resonated with her. The result is a collection that is as personal as it is powerful.
