Louise Pasterfield paints from photographs sent by people from Ukraine
An artist who felt compelled to act in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has created a watercolour exhibition in tribute to the country's resilience.
Ms Pasterfield said her endeavour began with a portrait of Valentina, a Ukrainian whose back yard had just been hit by artillery - captured by New York Times photographer Lynsey Addario. "One woman sent me a photo that she took of her two-year-old daughter on the second day of the war," said Ms Pasterfield."They had no electricity, no heating, no water, and outside, the Russian army was all around them.“Other people have sent me photos of family members who have died in the war.
