Portraits of GratitudE

A new community art project by Lindsay Shillington

What is this project?

Who are you grateful for? I’m creating a series of small 10” x 10” painted portraits inspired by gratitude. You’re invited to take part!

This project is about shining a light on the people who often go unseen — the helpers, caretakers, friends, and neighbors who show up without expecting recognition.

By turning their stories into art, I hope to create an exhibit that celebrates what’s good and enduring in all of us.

How Does It Work?

  1. Nominate someone you’re grateful for.
    Send me their photo and a short note (3–5 sentences) about why they matter to you.

  2. I’ll select images to paint.
    If your submission is chosen, I’ll create a 10x10” portrait in my style.

  3. Receive a free digital image.
    Everyone whose portrait I paint will get a high-quality digital file to share.

  4. Optional keepsakes:

    • Fine art print — $50

    • Original 10x10” painting — $500
