Hope is a Wrestle - PRINT COLLECTION
Speaking a truer story through art and dance of fighting for hope and freedom

‘FREE AGAIN’ is the sixth and final piece in this beautiful and powerful collection. It’s actually the first piece I created and birthed this collection. I loved creating this piece, full of freedom, joy, energy and grace. But as I reflected upon it, I realised it’s not a truer story! Well certainly not for me. I felt like I/ the dancer was missing some moves. I then started to create the pieces in a chronological order, a dance sequence of what it is to truly fight for hope and freedom.

An Art Print of the original new artwork, created with chalk pastels, blush ink and a lot of heart!

Segment of written piece that accompanies the artwork ‘Free Again’
‘And so the floating, graceful ballerina emerges
Freedom incarnated
Spirit filled.
This battle won
ground gained
and hope
well, hope wrestled through
Finally
She is taking up all her space
Settled in who and who’s she is
Identity sealed.’

A stunning and precious gift for a dear friend this holiday season or why not gift yourself, we all deserve beautiful art in our homes. And these pieces will bring beauty, inspiration, hope, energy, freedom, connection and a truth into your home.

This collection has been created with so much heart, a reflection of my own wrestle for hope and finding freedom again and an overflow of my desire to speak a truer story, providing encouragement and help for other brave souls who may be struggling.

I adore the texture and energy, that the media used has provided, I think you can sense the heart and spirit blowing through these pieces as I created them! Each Print also includes a stunning piece of writing, again an overflow of what I was feeling as I created each individual piece, giving you extra encouragement and an understanding of the artists vision of the artwork.

These words inspired the development of this collection

“Hope is a Wrestle. We think its a feeling, a contentment. It's not.
Hope is a wrestle. Hope is a fight. Hope is a battleground, a beautiful battleground.
Hope fights in the middle of uncertainty for the life that is to come.
Hope is a wrestle, It has not a trace of arrogance
It’s never dismissive, there’s not a trace of pretence.
It doesn't pretend that everything is ok.
Hope wrestles towards the future, It fights for the future.”
Words - Alan Scott
