Spotlight on the Painting: The Hopeful Woman

Sarah, The Hopeful Woman, 2024

Acrylic Paint on Board 

When we think of cancer, usually all we think about is how bad, scary, and horrible it is. And it is definitely all of that! But sometimes, there are glimmers of positive things that can come from it. The sense of community from one you never wanted to be part of: the appreciation of more of the little things: even gaining some body positivity. The female shape shown is made up of positive words women have given to describe their cancer journey. The colours were chosen as a way of showing positivity and going back to the earth (green), with the gold taken from Kinstugi art.
