I was incredibly proud when I was asked to contribute some pages to the amazing Art Aid Nepal Anthology, alongside an amazing range of multicultural artists. It’s a wonderful and important project set up to support the children who lost their home in the devastating earthquake in Nepal earlier this year.
You can find out more, support the project and get your own copy of the book plus original artwork, by visiting The Art Aid Anthology Kickstarter Page. You can see two pages of my four page tale above. My work appears alongside a mind-blowingly talented and varied group of creators in the 92 page book, such as Katriona Chapman, Chie Kutsuwada, Mike Medaglia, Francesca Mancuso, Sarah Lightman, Hannah Lee Miller, Inko, John Miers and the founders of the project Kripa Joshi and Elena Vitagliano.
As Kripa and Elena say on the kickstarter page…
“Art Aid Nepal enable us to use our ability as artists to raise funds. We wanted to do something to help children recover from the trauma that they faced during the earthquake and which resurfaces after every aftershock.
The 7.8 magnitude quake created a lot of destruction and loss of life. Even those who survived were not spared the mental trauma and even months later the aftershocks causes our hearts and minds to tremble. Thousands of adults and children lost their homes and are still displaced.
The need to help them remains, for their troubles are far from over.
…All funds raised from the sale will be used to support education and art therapy workshops for children affected by the tragedy. Art can help to heal and bring simple joy to their otherwise troubled lives.“
Donating to the project will not only make a real positive difference to children’s lives, but will enable you to get your hands on the following goodies…
