Inspired by her love of books, this original painting by best selling artist Marnie McKnight transports viewers to a serene space where art and literature blend. Featuring an iconic Penguin classic with the recognizable orange and white cover, the title is obscured, inviting interpretation, and the face is intentionally hidden, allowing the woman to be absorbed in a book, the expectations of society momentarily ignored.
