Hand Portraits

 

Do you remember 2020, when we weren't able to connect with our loved ones in the usual way? Visits were cancelled, events were postponed and we were missing that human connection.

​

I started drawing hands then, that could be sent as gifts to our family and friends to mark in some way, the milestone occasions in their lives.

​Soon, a whole collection of hand portraits evolved which you can see here.

​

The most poignant of these were the ones that were requested of specific hands, each telling a unique story and carrying profound significance.

​

Every hand portrait becomes a treasured keepsake, encapsulating a precious moment in time forever.
