"'Held Close' is less about a landscape and more about a feeling...the kind that settles quietly, deep within, and lingers. Like the bond between a mum and her little girl.
   
Rose pink sweeps across the sky like a tender embrace, carrying the warmth of closeness, gentle breath, and moments that are too precious to rush.
   
The landscape both vast and rugged, the skyline both breathtaking and soothing...layered movements that evoke resilience and strength.
   
The quiet waters evoke calm but are ever-shifting, just like our emotions and mother-daughter relationships often are…changing with time, and through lived experience.
   
'Held Close' speaks to the courage it takes to remain loyal and hopeful; to allow change, to give grace, to love deeply, and to trust that where ever life takes her...she knows she's always held close."
 
NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which can be more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.
