In October of this year, Cooperation Canada commissioned Colleen Gray to create a unique and powerful piece of artwork that would convey the strength of how a single person's actions can make an impact on the world. This work was created over a 3-day span at the National Art Centre. It was painted onsite with ink on 24x36" synthetic paper, and was inspired by the impressive international gathering of brilliant minds and beautiful hearts who came together for the 2024 International Cooperation Futures.

The original artwork will be auctioned off by Cooperation Canada with proceeds benefitting Minwashin Lodge in Ottawa. Income generated from the sale of these beautiful prints will help Art for Aid to put much needed program supplies into remote Indigenous schools in 2025.

Title:
The Light
Story:  A woman connects to the universe through the fire she carries in her heart. She seeks the wisdom of the stars. Cassiopeia shines brightly from her dark sky blanket acknowledging her steering flame of hope.

Beneath Cassiopeia, Perseus balances the feminine energy with his strength.
The woman is seated at the precarious edge of a rock shelf - a suggestion of how challenging it can be to light a path to positive change.

The absence of an obvious path to her place on the cliff edge might make one wonder how she came to be there; it is a question many women have asked themselves.
As she lifts her flame seeking a way forward, the world below her continues as it always has, regardless of where we find ourselves in it.  

Artist's note: The constellations painted in this artwork are accurately placed in the north eastern sky as they appear in the month of October in Ottawa.
