Nikola on the Train



THIS PAINTING WILL HANG IN THE LOS ANGELES CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL THANKS TO THE GENEROUS DONOR AND THE WCTF BENEFIT GALA. 

 I hope this painting inspires many children and their families going through difficult times to look forward to a new beginning.

My painting “The Train” was created for the World Children’s Transplant Fund for a cause I’ve strongly believed in for more than 20 years. 

When I was a young girl in Argentina, I witnessed the WCTF fly in a young girl from Serbia in need of a transplant. Because of the conflict, she couldn't receive it at home. She survived thanks to the incredible efforts of hundreds and grew up to share her story.

The WCTF is a key part of saving children's lives and connecting them with transplants. They find strategic places in conflict and connect these children and local doctors with resources, medical possibilities, and a chance to fight for their life. 

Today, doctors are staying at their posts in Ukraine so they can save the lives of thousands. Many will pass on, but those who are wounded, and those who will make it thanks to the doctors’ daily sacrifices, can only be a blessing and a labor of very hard work.

A new liver, a kidney transplant, but also the opportunity for these doctors to teach their valuable art of medicine to peers is what the WCTF stands for. 

With all of our help, we can give children a chance to start over. The WCTF is passionate and makes its mission work around the globe. This inspires me tremendously. 

My passion and mission are to connect and share my art with you today. I hope this painting of Nikola leaving Kyiv will give him hope for a better world. One far from his land, family, and culture, but with hope and kindness of where he will be received. 

The chance of giving him a new story, to help him believe in a kinder world is up to all of us.

If we didn’t pull together in times of struggle, we would collapse as people. It’s an honor for my art to be a connecting part of this human puzzle of generosity.
