IMAGINATION WITH ART

Hi, I am Lisa. I am a Graphic Designer/Illustrator based in UK. I along with some amazing group of creatives have set up this small fundraiser to raise funds for Children and Youth First organisation based in Nepal.

This fun little project started as a way of introducing the kids of CYF to explore their 'imagination with art'. As a creative, art has always been my escape, to dive through my imagination where there is no right or wrong - creating just for the fun of it. Thats how everything started for me.

Art needs to be accessible to everyone, and specially children coming from economically challenging background deserve a mode of expression, and exposure to what makes an art equally important for everyone. Children have to be able to experience outdoor areas, freedom of expression and more areas that not just fuel their imagination but also bring dignity in what they create. Quality education with art should be for everyone.

So along with me and the students of CYF Nepal we created several characters in the past 2 months, we spent time in nature, in thoughts and in collective spaces to just imagine and create with no boundaries.

I as an artist wanted the kids to experience and realise their endless possibilities through art. Feel proud of where their imagination can take them, embrace the butterflies and unknowingness of the pen and paper. Go where their thoughts takes them and not be afraid of dreaming yet bringing accessibility to their dreams.

The fundraiser will kickstart soon, but for now please do support us to raise funds which will specifically support CYF Nepal students "Imagination with Art" project. This project will fund CYF Nepal with all ART related supplies, outdoor activities relating to experience memory building( visiting various places in Kathmandu ) and help the school hire an art related educator for 3months.
