Breastfeeding the Brave, written by Lyndsey Hookway and published by Thought Rebellion, sheds light on a critically underexplored area: the needs and experiences of medically complex infants and children in paediatric care. As part of this powerful project, Leanne Pearce was commissioned to create a series of eight intimate portraits, each one capturing the strength, vulnerability, and resilience of the families featured in the book.
These portraits don’t just accompany the stories—they deepen them. Leanne’s work brings a human face to clinical narratives, providing a visual language that resonates with viewers and invites deeper empathy and understanding.
This collection demonstrates how fine art can amplify research, advocacy, and awareness. If you're part of an organisation, charity, or initiative seeking to represent stories with emotional clarity and lasting impact, consider commissioning a project like this to elevate your message.
