November 1, 2015 Purple Hills Arts
Artist Sara Sniderhan wanted to honour the elders in her adopted village. A year in the making, the idea evolved into a series of portraits and a limited edition book that included the life stories of the portrait subjects. The portraits were created in various media by Sara, Peter Adams, Martha Bull, Juliet Jancso, David Bruce Johnson, Andrej Kovacs, Peter Mitchell, Jim Paget and Christopher Roberts. The life stories were written by Rina Barone, Andy Barrie, Trina Berlo, Catherine Gildiner, Kristi-Ly Green, Julie Pollock, Cecily Ross, Stephen Smith and Emily Worts. The foreword was written by adopted local son, Dan Needles.
