Dawn is arriving…slowly

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

It’s been 19 days since the quake in Haiti and time has revealed so much heart, so much resilience, so much courage from those affected, and yet there’s still much more work to be done to help them.

This drawing is titled, “Spirit”. I created it as a tribute to the courageous spirit of the people of Haiti. I will never forget the televised images of the Haitian people walking together through the damaged streets of Port-Au-Prince, singing and clapping together. Very moving.

Spiritual Space and a Rose of Friendship and Hope for Haiti

Mocko-Jumbie-for-Haiti“Spiritual Space”

This is a drawing I made in St. Thomas, USVI, of three Mocko Jumbies.  Mocko Jumbies are stilt walkers who originated in Africa and came over to the Caribbean with the African people.  They are considered to be reaching a spiritual space through elevation.  Because of their great height they could see evil coming from far away.  They became the protectors of their villages, and in particular, of young children.   Please find out how to give a donation for the people of Haiti through CARE by going to the onedrawingaday website for those in need so that they may build a better future and protect themselves and their children in the weeks, months and years to come.

ROSE-for-HAITI “A Rose for Haiti”

A Rose of Friendship and Hope for Haiti and her people.

From The Ashes Comes…

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

LIFE,  what a precious thing it is.  Being of Dominican descent I have seen first hand the suffering of the Haitian people. My hope and prayer is that out of this disaster Haiti will rise again, stronger, better and even more beautiful than ever and that our people would rise to the occasion and treat the Haitian people the way they deserve to be treated.

“None, but people of strong passion are capable of rising to greatness.”

-Comte de Mirabeau

1791

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

This piece was created for a project about a man who was born a slave on an 18th century plantation in Haiti who grew up to become one of the most admired citizens of the new world. In the course my research on this project I learned a lot about the suffering the Haitian people have endured in the past two hundred fifty years, and my heart goes out to everyone on the island. Hand-signed prints of this drawing will be available for donations of $50 or more to CARE https://my.care.org  To find out more about the project this image was created for, please visit katinawrocki.com
