So proud to share the artwork of Laurie McNair Blue. This year she was chosen to illustrate an art card for the Mom2Mom Africa project that I am also so very fond of. Laurie is an accomplished artist, a graduate of Sheridan College’s Illustration program, & an art teacher who is from Ontario Canada and is currently serving as a missionary in Monmouth Wales with her family. ( YES – in the spirit of full disclosure – she’s my Sister.) The cards feature a brightly coloured illustration of two Mother birds and their chicks in a style inspired by Tanzanian artist Edward Tingatinga (1932 -1972). The heart string represents Mothers helping, loving, and supporting Mothers in Africa and Canada. The mother bird is feeding the love to the baby bird.
Watch this video to learn more about the founder of Mom2Mom Africa, Alison Fraser . Alison is Mom to three young daughters, and a full time environmental toxicologist with a passion for education and a big heart for helping brighten the futures of children in need. Her story of action is an inspiration! Contact Alison directly to purchase your cards. alison_fraser1@hotmail.com
