Artworks

The grief and heartache of losing loved ones can leave a family completely numb, their world comes to a complete halt, and time stands still. This has occurred a few times in my life most recently with the passing of a very close family member.

These artworks are about the loss, grief and harrowing pain once experienced by all.

Thank you to the team at the Departures Exhibition for curating such a sensitive exhibition.
