I wanted to share a beautiful surprise that recently came my way. William Wamala, a talented writer and poet, was inspired to write a poem based on my artwork Bittersweet. This piece holds a lot of meaning for me, and reading William’s poem brought it to life in a whole new way, adding depth and feeling I hadn’t imagined.
As an artist working in Offaly, my goal has always been to capture the strength, resilience, and beauty in life, particularly through portraiture. Bittersweet is one of those pieces, and to know that it connected with William on such a deep level is truly special. His words have added another layer to the story, enhancing its themes of love, loss, and beauty.
William, thank you for this incredible gift. Your poem is now a part of Bittersweet, and it means the world to me. This experience is a wonderful reminder of the power of art to connect us, regardless of the medium.
Thank you to everyone who supports my art. Your encouragement makes moments like this possible, and I’m so grateful for each of you.
And a heartfelt thank you to William it means a lot
Ann
