Artist Statement

Caring Friends ii by Kylie Fogarty

A wonderful friend of mine came to my house during an incredibly busy time, I was ovewhelmed with life. With one gentle gesture of a gift of flowers in simple yet beautiful vases, my day settled and calm returned, all through the kindness of a caring friend.

This work on paper was created using dip pens and professional grade Pigmented inks on luxurious 300gsm Fine Art Paper.

This is one of a set of three in the Caring Friends Series, when exhibited all together, they are often referred to as looking as a set of old time stamps! Beautiful on their own or in the series hung together.

This artwork will be delivered framed in a stunning champagne gold frame with accented internal Mat.
