War Child, an acclaimed humanitarian organization, has been protecting children
from the brutal impact of war for the past 20 years.
War affects children in multiple ways and its negative impact can be felt for years after the guns are silenced. Using a bold, community-driven approach, War Child delivers programs that give children the best chance of overcoming these challenges and growing up to see a brighter future. War Child makes it possible for
children to get back to school, protects their rights, and gives their families the tools they need to
escape poverty. War Child believes that the impact of war on children and youth is the
most critical crisis facing the world and is outspoken about our shared responsibility to act.

The process....
...at the Studio 756 Queen Street East
Many years ago I was very familiar in the use of a drafting material called MYLAR, which was used to produce architectural drawings for reproduction. This material has now found new popularity by artists as it not only accomodates the use of oils, acrylics, transfers and inks, but any other kind of painting materials, including watercolour inks.
I re-discovered mylar about eight years ago and enjoy the many uses it offers along with it's transparency. In other words, you may create a background colour applying it to one side, and creating the foreground on the other side. This flexibility offers unending possibilities which, to this day, I have not exhausted yet.
This means that the Forest, Seascape and Abstract Series are all produced with watercolour inks and mixed media, meaning, including other textured materials and/or transfers on mylar.
The Encaustic Series are produced by melting Beeswax and combining it with oil paints, using another exciting means of creating textures...
In the Abstract series, again I am using watercolour inks along with mixed media, may it be collages or otherwise.
The Black and White Series are again works on Mylar using inks and acrylic mediums.
...and, in my latest project, the Equine Series, I am using Pastels on mylar as well as water-colours on paper....
