Portraits of Children

Some of the Friends of Maria Relief Fund

Many years ago, when creating the Maria Relief Fund, a picture gallery was visualized - a wall covered with portraits of the Friends, and of the Children.

Strangely enough, in due course the vision materialised.  Through concentration in real time, an artist's sketch contacts the sitter more intimately, than a photo.

The children in this gallery are your own, reflectively - yours and ours.  They may grow up to be the Friends also, of Maria Relief Fund.  In the shifting terrain of our world today, any of them could suddenly experience severe loss and hardship.

The portraits are selected from Jane Adams's work over the years.
