'Children First' is a Melbourne based not-for-profit charity. Their mission is to collaborate with exceptional health professionals enabling life-changing surgery, and to provide holistic care in Australia for disadvantaged overseas children who are entrusted to us. The Foundation has a proud history built on the belief that excellent medical care is a basic right of every child regardless of where they are born. More information about the charity is available on their website http://childrenfirstfoundation.org.au
Over the years Jacqueline has extended her support to the Children First Foundation through regular donation of paintings, including Nushi X, Tranquility 2004 and Tranquility 2006.

'A Window Between Worlds' is an organization that provides art classes to traumatized individuals of all ages and across the USA. Check them out - https://awbw.org/. AWBW invited me to create 3 'Touchstone' (paintings set in glass) which will be auctioned in September 2016. On the back of each painting I wrote "Do not underestimate the healing power of these three things, Art, The Stars and The Ocean." Thank you Lindsay, it was a privilege to paint them.
