A Residency in Green Park

I've been an illustrator for no more than a few years, so the fact that Harapan has made it to Green Park is completely thrilling for me. I initially volunteered to work for SOS just to get a bit of experience, and at the time the charity were just asking about for someone to do some images for a workbook aimed at Sumatran school children - a project which turned out to be The Orangutan Book. Two years down the line and I was asked if I'd be interested in painting an elephant. Yes, definitely! was my response, and six months later my work is on display in London!

The acrylic painting on canvas shown here is a prize for a free photo competition run by SOS. 
I really hope Harapan raises a lot of money for the cause.
