#221 "Solidarity"

Thank you in helping the people of Ukraine.

Result: On May 10, 2022, this campaign raised and donated $19,000 for the UNHCR Ukraine Crisis, thank you!!

The UN says that as of 5 May, 2022, more than 12 million people (many are children) are believed to have fled their homes in Ukraine since the conflict began, according to the United Nations. Over 5.7 million have left for neighbouring countries and another 6.5 million people are thought to be displaced inside the war-torn country itself. This situation is quickly becoming a humanitarian crisis of unthinkable proportions.

The United Nations High Commission for Refugees has stepped up their operations in Ukraine, and in support of neighbouring countries who have opened their borders to those people who are seeking refuge from the onslaught of attacks and missile strikes devastating their cities.

All net profit raised from Feb to May 2022, from these limited edition prints and the original painting titled, “Solidarity” were donated to the UNHCR Ukraine appeal.

The landscape painting symbolizes the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag, and the sunflowers represent the national flower. I hope this image becomes one of many shared on social media platforms to show support and solidarity with the people of Ukraine. I am inspired by the courage of the Ukrainian people. I hope you will join me in this support and may our voices become a worldwide call for peace.
