Opening doors…brighter days
2009, Acrylic and oil paint, collage – paper, wool, wire, cellophane, canvases

This painting displays a combination of images and colours that symbolise “brighter days”.  As a community, we can focus on opening doors for people with a disability to make a difference.  The canvases are hinged together like doors; the bright circle in the middle is a passge that leads to opportunities, directions and guidance; the flowers and roots symbolise strength and growth, the roots a base of direction and support.
