Ordinary People: Extraordinary Lives:  'Travelling with My Paintbrush' featuring Julia Cairns.  The Oceanside Grandmothers are delighted to welcome a special friend, Julia Cairns - artist and children's book illustrator.  Julia's world travels and experience of the people in far off places have been translated from 'whatever is in my heart' into fine art for more than 30 years.  Inspired particularly by the African people, Julia developed a unique whimsical style that has become her trademark.  Her colourful, cheerful images adorn canvas, children's books and fabric - some which decorates the popular tote bags created by the Grandmothers.

Refreshments are included in the ticket price.  All proceeds from this event will be forwarded to the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers Campaign that provides support to grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa as they struggle to raise the next generation of children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
