A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited back as a guest artist for SiTara’s Story. This time I auctioned a Bengal Tiger that I had completed for the event. It was an amazing event and again I was blown away by everyone’s generosity.
The artwork was of a Royal Bengal Tiger rendered in charcoal and pastel on paper.
I wanted the Tigress to symbolise Bangladesh and the connection of Sitara’s Story to that country and also to highlight the work they are doing in mental health programs in Bangladesh. I chose the Tigress because the Royal Bengal Tiger is the National animal of Bangladesh and because the power, beauty, strength and determination of the tigress represents the courage and determination needed for the work to empower women and overcome mental health challenges.
