New Beginnings, 2022 artist_Emma Creasey Acrylic and pastels on canvasOil on canvas. 20 x 25cm. 'This painting is part of a series that was created during an extended period of solitude. The works seek to represent the feeling of turning inward; of tending to one's self, discarding that which no longer serves you, and returning to the world lighter than before.' says Emma Creasey.
