Portraits of Love: A Mother’s Perspective by regional artist Meli Axford, explores the nuanced dynamics of love, family, and her daughters’ transition to adulthood through a mother’s eyes.
Featuring vibrant paintings that capture the complexities of growing up, the exhibition showcases the latest in Axford’s ongoing Pool Series. Her works are framed as portraits of love through a mother’s eyes, offering an alternate perspective on portraiture and contributing to the phenomenology of the female gaze.
A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative. An outcome of the PLATFORM program.
