Some Hope Valerie Bence

In this short collection I've tried to find hope in unexpected places, even where it's not immediately apparent. Ancient people braving the alps to find jade, my Mum's recent failing health and death, a bird of prey searching for food and Rembrandt's early portrait in his empty studio, summing up all his hope and artistic ambition on a small 9" x 12" wooden panel.




Hope is everywhere, even if it's hard to cling onto right now.
