DONATIONS - CANUCK PLACE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE www.canuckplace.org Located in Vancouver's Shaughnessy Heights, the 16,000 sq. ft. residence is a Children's Hospice. When a child in British Columbia is diagnosed with a progressive life limiting illness, Canuck Place can provide pediatric palliative care services for both the child and the entire family. Each pastel painting has its own story...four of those years each painting was made into gift cards for Christmas and sold at all Purdys Chocolate Stores - all the funds raised went to the Hospice.
Awarded Premier Artist of Canuck Place Children's Hospice
My interview to be the artist selected to paint the hospice was four hours long... They were very particular in what was to be created...
