SAIDIA is selling a limited edition of prints of Samburu
dancers by the English artist, Vicki Olverson. Vicki studied art at Southport
and Cardiff and has lived and worked in Ireland and UK since 1980.
Her work focuses on graceful, ceramic sculptures,
usually of female figures, and highly energetic, coloured drawings of
figures and land or seascapes. She is a figurative artist whose work
recalls Maillol and Modigliani and shows a subtle appreciation of the
sculptural form.
After a chance meeting between Vicki and SAIDIA's
then director, Kate Macintyre, Vicky spent several weeks travelling with
SAIDIA, attending mobile clinics and local ceremonies, including a wedding.
The prints are of the dancers at this wedding.
Vicki is allowing us to sell a limited edition of
her drawings to raise money for SAIDIA and we aim to raise $30,000 in
the next few months. Up to 35 of each print is being sold. They are printed
on high quality, acid-free paper with double matt surrounds in black
or red, with white inner matt. These will be safely packed for transport
in cellophane and padded envelopes. The artist has signed each print
and the limited edition registration is shown on the bottom left hand
side of the reproduction.
The prints come in two sizes - 8 x 10 inch (£32
/ $55) and 5 x 7 inch (£26 / $45).
