"
It is an honour to be entrusted with the creation of a long-lasting momento for the families of precious Angel babies. I feel really privileged to use my art skills in such a meaningful way and to give something positive back to the world.
Art for me has always been a great source of comfort and healing and I hope that in some small way that the portrait can provide some solace to families in their time of grief.
