Thought I’d post a watercolor painting of a tropical village. I can’t help but think about all the beauty destroyed in Haiti, along with the loss of lives.

In response to the earthquake in Haiti, myself and the other seven illustrators of Studio 1482 have each donated art to raise money on behalf of the victims in an effort to support the appeal for funds by CARE, a leading humanitarian relief organization. From January 19th until February 8th you can participate by donating $50 to CARE. Please click HERE to be directed to the initial post with instructions. Thank you to all who have already participated. – Veronica Lawlor

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.

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.”

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

Please note that prints and art are for personal use only and are not to be reproduced by any means. All artwork is copyright by the individual artist. Fundraiser ends on Monday, February 8.
