My great-grandma, Lois, is depicted in this lino print sitting cheerfully in her garden amongst the white daisies and purple portulacas. She is happiest in her garden. When I visit her we sit on the sun-warmed chairs in her garden, eating scones and chatting about anything and everything. My great-grandmother is a joyous, caring and beautiful lady and I am truly grateful for the relationship we have. I never saw her without a smile and I felt no one else should either.
