Happy to be a part of this show which opens with a reception 6-8 pm on May 29th, 2013. The exhibiton continues through to June 9th, 2013. The Cultch is located at 1895 Venebles in East Vancouver.
Royal City Gogos ART Show May 9th - 12, 2013 is on view at River Market at New Westminster Quay.
This exhibition is a fund raiser for Stephen Lewis Foundation grandmother to grandmother Campaign. Without almost no support grandmothers have stepped forward to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS, sometimes as many as 10-15 in one household. They display astonishing reserves of love, courage and emotional resilience even while grieving the loss of their own adult children.
I am proud to be part of this wonderful show which goes on tour and grandmother groups across Western Canada will host this show over the next year. The show returns to New Westminster in time to celebrate International Women's Day 2014 with a gala dinner and auction on March 7th.
My painting is called: CRADLEING ARMS OF AFRICA. 24x30 mixed media collage. It is my gift to this wonderful cause.
