Art from the Heart

For artist Kat Rae, art has always formed part of the solution when she sought to make sense of her own experiences, whether it was through creating works of her own, or immersing herself in the expressions of others. While it was her constant companion and her calling, it wasn’t her first career.

Quilts of Valour

Helen Comport is a mother. A mother of a son who was wounded while serving overseas in 2010. Few can understand the stress of that situation, but Helen was able to take some comfort in a beautiful patchwork quilt made by other mothers from far away, and placed on her son’s bed while he healed from his injuries. This patchwork quilt inspired Helen’s new mission…Quilts of Valour.
