SEEING FAIRIES

Our resident artist Ann Tocoda has recently produced these gorgeous Fairy Paintings to help raise funds for neonatal intensive care. Ann is also having them made into prints. We are extremely happy to tell you all that Ann will be putting these prints on to her gallery page real soon!


It has been a realy busy time for artist Ann Tocoda who has enjoyed every minute painting her fairy creations.  They are very special to Ann as her inspiration was taken by beautiful premature babes.

Jessica Fairy is inspired by baby Jessica who has brought so much love to her family. Jessica Fairy carries a heart...this is a secret message referring to the wonderful fundraising for neonatal that is being done in Jessica's name...she is a gift to her parents and her life has inspired many to fund raise in aid of equipment to give other premature babies the best possible care.

Ann told us that she painted Ella Bella Fairy in an enchanted world embarking on an enchanted journey, the little butterfly is her gardian and represents the love of her family that will be with her always throughout her life.
