People living in the Heswall and Neston areas can receive art prints for free thanks to local artist Emma Hollingworth.

She says: "It genuinely makes me happy as an artist to be able to share my work, and now I am accepting donations in return for prints - of whatever amount someone wants to give, and 100% of those profits will be going to four local good causes.

"Local people nominated these local organisations to benefit: Horse Sense Wirral, Oakwood Animal Sanctuary, Refugee Assist, and Retain Wellbeing, which does dementia outreach work."

Emma, who lives in Little Neston, adds: "Money's tight at the moment, so if someone just wants some free art to brighten their home but without donating, that's OK too. There's no judgment if someone just wants a free print!"

Of herself, Emma says: "I'm an artist, ally, intersectional feminist, midwife, overcomer and passionate encourager. A variety of personal challenges has shaped me into the woman I am today, and I have an inside understanding of life's complexities and the mountains so many have to climb. My art expresses a relentless rallying call to keep on, to rise up, to take heart and celebrate as we overcome.

"The artwork on offer is from the PROGRESSION collection which focuses on progress rather than perfection, and illustrates how both good and difficult experiences can fit together to make a beautiful and meaningful life overall."

Emma has recently been handpicked to feature in Vanity Fair UK and has a nationwide offer running for the full set of three A4 prints at a sale price of £18. But just for those local to Heswall and Neston she is offering them for free - with free delivery - while there are stocks left.
