Alice, a portrait by Sarah Hedley


Alice and her aunty Sarah shared a common love of art. They communicated together, talking about their lives and they reflected their feelings in their art.

This new peice by Sarah Hedley made me cry, she both captures Alice in appearance and in her energies. Here are Sarah’s words about the peice:

Her favourite colours had evolved and she liked pastel purple, blue green, jade. Tigers’s paw is on her heart. The blue circle is her sadness at leaving us. The blue triangle is the peace and stability she found in her last days. The dashed line is her ascension to heaven. The red line is the faultline that ran thru her life of the tumour. The spiral is spiritual growth, path and infinity. The birds footprints is me walking in her life . The sunburst is healing light for us all.

Thank you Sarah. x
