This coming weekend, Abigail becomes the youngest artist ever to exhibit at Saatchi Yates unveiling a curated series of original works as part of her wish to have her very own art gallery.
At just four years old, Abigail’s life changed overnight when unexplained pain led to a diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. After two and a half years of extraordinary bravery, completing treatment marked not only the end of a chapter, but the beginning of imagining a future shaped by hope.
Painting has always been Abigail’s happy place, a creative refuge during long hospital stays. Her mum shared their excitement and how they are so “proud of her as her parents because she’s dreamed big. Abigail is most excited about the whole exhibition being her own and the joy in being able to celebrate with family, friends and the world.”
We’d love to welcome you to visit the gallery to view Abigail’s beautiful work.

“To me, surviving such challenges is resilience. Presenting oneself with all weaknesses and all the weight of past experiences openly, responsibly, and with confidence is an act of dignity.” —Tesfaye Urgessa
