pastelhandstudies

Heidi Carroll is a a local artist and parent of a child in King Edward school. Heidi had been exploring hand structure and skin tone in her art and was inspired to make pastel paintings of each of the Grade 2 children’s hands, as a study. As she did so, Heidi was struck by the intricacy and personality of every little hand, having grown to know and appreciate each little person they belong to. If you are interested in viewing this body of work, it will be on display at the Strathcona Public Library from April 22 through the remainder of the school year.

If you are or know a parent of a Room 8 Grade 2 child who may be interested in purchasing a print or the original of a child’s hand, please contact Heidi at hcarrollart@gmail.com. They are priced at $30 for a print, or $120 for a framed original. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the prints and framed originals will go towards the school mural fundraising campaign.
