Evolving Colour

Acrylic pouring on canvas.

Ashleigh chose the colours of her artwork using eye gaze technology. Yellow, red, blue and white paint was used. She chose which colour was to be added to the cup first and indicated using eye blinking when there was enough of that colour in the cup. She then chose subsequent colours and amounts in the same way.

Using a chopstick, Ashleigh was assisted to lightly mix the colours in the cup. Mum poured the paint onto the canvas until it was covered. Ashleigh then used the chopstick to make gentle lines in the paint.

She even left a few small fingerprints to officially make her mark.

Mother's Day

Deniz painted this artwork himself at preschool for Mother's Day. It is the first piece of artwork sent home to us. I just know how much joy this would have brought him to do.

Echoes

We would give Layla baths in the back yard together, enjoying the sky and the warmth of the yellow light of the sun. It was a special family day every time because we could just be with each other, laugh and play away from hospitals and other medical needs.

We used charcoal and paper to make rubbings of the area we used to bathe Layla in for this exhibition. We remembered her and the joy we had together with laughter and play in the beautiful outdoors under the big blue sky again.

Sibling connection through Art

Through the help of Jellybean Street, professional graphic artists used our three children’s artwork as inspiration to create high-quality, one-of-a-kind canvas print that we will treasure forever. Each colour represented a child (Ivy - pink/purple, Austin -blue, and Max - yellow). Individual handprints and balloon art were incorporated through the artwork.
We had so much fun creating it together, dancing and singing to Taylor Swift tunes.

Layla: Little Lioness of Love

This artwork was inspired by Banksy's exhibition in February 2024. I was taken by the image of the little girl with the red balloon. To me she represented the symbol of childhood innocence, hope and love. All of which made me think of Layla. It is a mixed medium of watercolour and textas using the style of zentangle. The big heart balloon represents hope; the young girl represents Layla; the smaller balloons represent the family and people who loved Layla and advocated for her every single day. The yellow sun represents the light that young Layla shone upon those who met her.

Layla's Butterfly

Layla made a foot print on one of her long stays at Sydney Childrens' Hospital. It became a powerful image that she recognised and would smile well after the event. The artist Sergio Regetalli later made iterations of this image to create a glass artwork for her resting place. The artwork two sculptures of glass representing Layla's original mark making print.

Our Kite

Pan used charcoal and paper to do rubbings of the spaces where she washed and then snuggled with Layla. She then wanted to make it a kite because the string unites then now.

Husker

Husker is a character from the adult cartoon called Hazbin Hotel. This show inspired his latest Cosplay outfit which was a piece of art in itself. The drawings are usually the starting point of deciding on his next Cosplay outfit. This art took five days to make. Art is a challenge for Xave as he has continuous seizures that cause tremors in his hands, this is the reason he chooses digital art as an error caused by the tremors can be erased.
