Blue, a colour that over the past few months has shown up in my work more and more. Feminine and full of energy, I wanted to represent the joyful and freeing feeling of rising up and embracing this powerful playful energy.

As part of my 'Garden of Hands' series of paintings.

I'm on a mission to bring a hand to every home as a symbol of unity. I started the work initially in response to what I felt was very concerted top level effort to devalue human input and human endeavour. It angered and saddened me - for I love humanity at it's best.

Ai a topic of concern, I aim to remind people of the power within our hands.
The power in the simple gesture of a touch, a stroke. Our hands can resist or support - the great communicator
