A Note from the Artist...

I created my artwork as a way of expressing the impact love and care can have on a person. The reason I included both black and white strips and coloured strips was to represent the progress and transformation that can occur when people care for others. In the Salvation Army I have seen such a strong sense of community, and with that comes a care for others that is like no other. Personally, I have seen people’s lives change because of others who live out god in their actions, such as, caring for people around them no matter their situation. My goal in creating this painting was to give people a sense of comfort and inspire individuals to care for others, as the lady is doing in the artwork. This painting, while being simple, can portray such an important and necessary message, that is no matter how simple the gesture of care is, it can have a greater impact on a person’s life and faith.
