2020 APRON PROJECT

Flora & Fauna

Every year we create a theme for artists to work to and in 2020 we planned for Flora and Fauna.

Never could we have imagined the extraordinary times we have experienced already in 2020.

The deaths by Domestic Violence is heart wrenching and the destruction of our floral and fauna has been distressing. I hope you will join me in this very special 2020 Apron Project.

I was a victim but now I am strong. Once you walk away you discover a life that has been waiting for you.
