STORY - Mother

Mother

This artwork was painted to represent my family and my role as a mother.

It represents our family home, where I am gathered with my four children.

The notion of this piece is my role in raising independent, confident and happy children. I have given them each their own meeting place, to demonstrate their own lives and independence separate to me. Each of them wear a crown- I include this as I want them to always see their worth.

Seeds are included in the work to represent knowledge and growth, as are the leaves that surround the top of the artwork. The river forms the bottom of the artwork, with people gathered close by- a symbol of our community and those that support me as a mother and person.
