“Central to the image are the Three Graces dancing barefoot in a muddy field. To the left a pregnant woman gazes at them (perhaps with memory of freedom and carefree times) and to their right an angel touches one of the women, a reminder of the brevity of life, whilst a bunch of red flowers drop their leaves into the swirling river, to be carried along in the tumultuous waters to the young girl, who at her mother's feet, reaches for the petals. When creating this piece, I was thinking of the cycle of life: childhood, adulthood, motherhood and the life thereafter. It was painted when my daughter was three years old and the young girl is an impression of her.”
