Artist Statement
The painting entitled “Tiny Hand” is about that moment, when you have time to admire your baby after coming out of the haze and exhaustion of giving birth. Going through the process of pregnancy and birth with a supporting and caring team, makes bonding with you baby special because you realize your new family is supported by a community. Living in a rural area, my partner and I were very grateful to have had excellent access to midwifery care, a local hospital and a community doctor.
