The participating artists each received a bespoke art box containing all the materials needed to create the painting. The theme for the paintings was ‘Torch Songs’ – inspirational songs that we turn to when times are tough and that help guide us out of the dark.
Toyah has contributed three paintings for this project which are now up for auction at Charity Stars.
