Artwork Description

The artist states, "This painting was inspired by a short story that I wrote recently where a young artist paints a giraffe. The giraffe and images of Africa have stuck in my mind lately. The painting was my way of guiding them out." Sara suggests that each of us to become more aware of the conflict in African countries as she plans to do her part.
