Laurie Blue Illustration for Mom2Mom Africa

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.

Pack of 8 cards, blank inside, illustration by Laurie McNair Blue – $15
