“These prints featuring Sofia Loren feel pretty special, a sort of collaboration with my late grandmother: Keyna Emerson who was a painter who inspired & encouraged me to start my journey as an artist.

Keyna Emerson was an abstract painter who graduated from Slade School of Art in 1947. She has been a resounding influence on me, having bought me my first paint set, and through creating these painterly and colourful small works just after her death, she has continued to inspire me. These prints are made on hand-painted card and papers found when I was clearing out her studio. Some are all hers, some I added painted marks to before screenprinting on top. They feel like seeds of something new."
