Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for my 'Portraits of Appreciation' Series!
Whilst I sit at home, safely tucked away, I wave my fiance goodbye as he heads out the door to start another day on the front-line for the NHS. My lovely Mum also does the same, heading out to work hard to keep us all as safe as possible, taking care of those who are in need.
Personally, I felt kind of useless and wanted to do SOMETHING to at least show my appreciation towards our Key-Workers and to maybe make them smile for a moment and feel proud of what they are doing. I decided (as a keen illustrator) to create portraits for key-workers nominated by friends, family or even by themselves - instead of payment to me I have asked that those nominating donate to the NHS or an organisation they feel needs help right now.
Thank you so much to those who have already donated to the NHS or other charitys - I am so grateful and have had the best time creating these portraits and learning more about all of the wonderful key-workers from NHS staff, to delivery drivers, to the police-force and firefighters !

The idea is to spread some love and also awareness for these individuals who work on the front-line for us. Please, stay at home, let's keep our Key-workers safe and give them all the support they need. Thank you!
