Nic Vickery's "Gracie Fields" Portrait
Subject
International Conflict
Description
"'Gracie Fields' was inspired by that fantastic band of ladies who worked through both World Wars, known as the Women's Land Army. I have a cherished photo of my Gran, 'Kitty', taken in 1917 in her 1st World War Land Army uniform. Although my Gracie may be in 1940s garb, she stands for a generation that faced life and an ever changing reality with determination and fortitude. "
