A selection of paintings by artist Emily Lovejoy from New Orleans. Drawn to exploring themes of identity and inter-connection, Lovejoy states:

“People have always been the most important subject matter for me to portray. It’s my way of recording our history. With surreal visuals incorporated I am able to hint at my view of the world. Each painting is approached with a sense of love and solidarity for my fellow humans.”
