About the artwork:
Sundeigh Rose Marshall Photography, in collaboration with Gabrielle Gibbins, Empowering Art for All
Sundeigh Rose Marshall... known as Sunny is a photographer living with cerebral palsy whose creative vision and love of animals produces images of extraordinary warmth and wonder.
She Wore Stars was created through a radiant collaboration between Sunny and Gabrielle Gibbins of Empowering Art for All. Together they built the set from the ground up. A vibrant painted backdrop alive with handprints, glittering stars, rich purple draping and a pink tutu, every element carefully chosen and arranged as a stage worthy of the subject.
Then Sunny stepped behind the lens.
The result is bold, playful and completely alive. A bulldog gazing upward with quiet confidence, surrounded by colour and stars, in a world built entirely for her.
Art gave Sunny a stage. And she filled it completely.
