Artist Sally McKay talks about her contribution to the Mothers Day exhibition

“Women have an extraordinary ability to hold hope in one hand and despair in another, this is so evident to me since Covid isolation began.

Mother’s day is a wonderful time to celebrate the hope, the positivity, the comfort, the wisdom, the humour and the resilience women bring to the world during times of turmoil.

As an artist, I think staying an optimist during this time is essential, there is enough pessimism in the world.

Whilst everything is cancelled, let us take a pause to celebrate women.”
