The Long Way Home features new original paintings and limited edition prints by Alyce Bailey

“I believe that to long for home, is to be human. It is the ache to be whole, to be known, loved and understood. To be at home with oneself is one of life’s greatest challenges and to be considered someone’s home, one of life’s greatest joys.

For me, home isn’t just a place. It’s those feelings we experience once we’ve found what we have been searching for – whether that’s love, acceptance or peace and it is from these longings that my works have sprung.”
– Alyce Bailey (2022)
