Hope for Turkiye

I was inspired by the extraordinary courage and bravery of the Turkish and Syrian people who came together to help save as many people as they could find under the enormous blanket of rubble after the earthquake devastated and destroyed large parts of their Country. 

I needed to create an image that would resonate universally by showing what is truly important to our existence when our lives are threatened by external forces. For me that was a mother hugging her children close, grabbing their family animals and favourite toys to find sanctuary during this shocking time.

 I wanted to capture the truly heartbreaking impact of what an earthquake brings, devastating chaos, pain and suffering, but also amazing unity, solidarity and humanity at its best.  Helping those in needs. What an amazing act of kindness to see that despite being under fierce Russian bombardment Ukraine still sent some of their own recovery teams to help Turkey. 

The posters are A2 – packaged in a hardened tube and cost £20 – now available

For every poster sold £5 will be donated to a Turkish and Syrian humanitarian aid charity.

Tributes to Ukraine Artists

Cut Paper Tribute to Lyubov Panchenko
Cut Paper Tribute to Maria Prymachenko

Despite extreme opposition, Lyubov Panchenko dared to celebrate her Ukrainian identity through colorful folk art collages. Tragically, the 84-year-old artist died during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Not only is Maria Prymachenko among the 20th century’s great self-taught artists, she is an icon of Ukrainian national identity. Her fantastical paintings, praised during her lifetime by the likes of Pablo Picasso, are now found in some of the country’s most important museums. Her work has also been featured on postage stamps and her likeness is immortalized on commemorative coins.

You can now purchase stretched canvas and giclee prints of these and other Ukraine works.

Hope for Ukraine

Edited and compiled by Tim Saunders (Creative Coverage)

This book, in celebration of Ukraine, is a fantastic group effort from over 40 contributors from the United Kingdom to the Republic of Ireland and as far away as Australia. It features poems, short stories, famous quotes, art and sculpture around the theme of hope and freedom. All proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated by Tim Saunders Publications to the Sunflower of Peace Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the horrific invasion. This organisation provides medical and humanitarian aid and helps paramedics and doctors in the areas affected by the violence in Ukraine.

The book features the works of artists. Fiona Scott-Wilson’s four Ukraine works appear in full page plates at the start of the book and were part of the inspiration for this publication.

You can support Ukraine by buying the book on Amazon, the colour artworks are best featured in the full colour edition. Also available on Kindle.

Derby artist raises funds through striking postcards

Fiona Scott-Wilson, an artist from Derby, has been busy raising funds for the Red Cross by creating a striking artwork.

Fiona said: “Precious Peace…. is my new cut paper designed to sell as an art poster with proceeds going to the Red Cross and postcards to bombard this Government to do more.

“I’m putting ‘Shame on you… do more’ on the back of the postcard.

“I will be printing a large batch of posters for people who may want to contribute to this tragic humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

“Designing this helped me in a small way. All artists have a visual voice and can convey many emotions without words. Please help if you can.”

The poster can be bought for £10 and a batch of six postcards for £5, all through Fiona’s website.
