Celtic Bond | A Daughter and Her Mother
Mixed media on canvas with wood panel backing, digitally printed background with hand applied oil pen, paint, textured
30 x 30
This work presents a mother and daughter as children, drawn from the artist’s own life. Their figures stand together within a wooded place that recalls years shaped by hardship imposed by those nearest to them. The mother, having grown up without protection, became a steady presence for her child during a time marked by fear, control, and emotional strain. Through attention and resolve, she remained beside her daughter and guided her through what could not be avoided.
The forest holds the memory of enclosure and of passage. It marks a period when remaining alert was necessary and when leaving together required courage. The bond between the two figures reflects a decision made and upheld. It speaks to protection given where none had been received, and to the endurance carried from one generation to the next.
This work stands as a record of maternal devotion and shared survival. It honors the strength of women who persist, protect, and carry their children forward, shaped by experience and sustained through responsibility.
