Spring Light at the Abbey

The story behind this painting is very sentimental. For over a year, I was stuck in the US for visa reasons after having moved to a new country with no friends or family bar the husband. During this time, there were ups and downs, though, I felt the most homesick after hearing news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing. At this point in time, I truly wished that I could be with my family and friends at home.

I created this piece depicting Westminster Abbey and Queen Anne’s Lace bathed in spring light to mark new beginnings. The Abbey was the location for the Queen’s funeral, but also for King Charles’ coronation. As one book closes, a new one opens.
