REFUGEES

In 2021 I produced  three hundred 2022 St Kilda Watercolour calendars, donating all profit to Space2b Social Design, for their program 'Space2Fly' which supports newly arrived migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum to start their own enterprise to become financially independent. 

$9,610 was donated.  This enabled the program to continue to run, and was also used to pay travel expenses for participants.

Given the continued impact of COVID-19, in this project I tried to provide benefit to the community from many angles.  This included:
  • Inviting local residents to suggest their 'favourite views', which I painted, and featured in the calendar, crediting the person who submitted the suggestion (See which of the paintings below are still available in Originals or see them all in Limited Editon Prints).
  • Providing free promotion to 12 Space2b talented new-migrant designer artists
  • Providing free promotion to four local businesses
  • Providing discount vouchers from the four local businesses, for local residents to use
  • Providing discounted painting prices to local St Kilda residents.
