Info about the painting….
This is a portrait of my daughter, the animator, illustrator and designer Gemma Green-Hope. Over the years I have drawn and painted my daughter many times, she continually inspires me. In this image she is dressed in both her deceased Grandmother’s clothes and is wearing some of her jewellery. In the background I’ve painted black and white photos of both her Grandmothers. Gemma is smelling her maternal Grandmother’s favourite perfume. This painting celebrates the enduring love and connection between a Granddaughter and her Grandmothers.
