This is a catalog of a painting series done by Margaret Godfrey. In what Godfrey describes as a “series of hope,” paintings are inspired by a global issue – barriers and lack of access to education among young women and girls. Each piece incorporates fabric, patterns, architecture, landscapes, or cultural symbols representing countries, cultures, and diverse communities with low schooling among females. Outstretched hands call to mind children in a classroom, ready to learn. They reach for the infinity symbol – representing an inner craving for unlimited knowledge.
