Field notes
The homepage combines a mission history with a visual archive of portraits and favorite-character paintings made for individual children. It reports 1,400 paintings over more than twelve years, along with hospital visits, painting parties, handmade gifts, and a 1,000 Lights for Hope exhibit. A recurring narrative links the beginning and end of the project: Pheonix received the first painting, while the 1,400th was made for her brother Jake.
