Granny Gizi and the 151st Annual Exhibition of the Society of Women Artists




I am very happy to post here a photo of my latest piece of work: Granny Gizi (oil on canvas, 36cm x 48cm), which has been selected for the 151st Annual Exhibition of the Society of Women Artists. The exhibition will be held at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London between June 28, 2012 and July 7, 2012.
Granny Gizi is a portrait of a lovely, elderly lady I look on as one of my grandmas, although we are not actually related. She has had a tough life. She fought serious illness and poverty and was deported from her homeland in Slovakia after World War II. Yet through it all she has always been full of love and compassion. She is a beautiful soul, and I love her dearly.
