Charity prints by Myrna Shoa For over ten years Myrna Shoa sold her cards and prints from her shop Myrna Shoa Cards in the famous London's Portobello Road market. Formally she ran (with others) The Fool an experimental women's fashion business, also in Portobello Road. (CLICK FOR INFO) Now her creativity is in other directions in making short community films and animation as well as teaching. She no longer makes cards, but continues to sell her prints online. "As a thank you to the wondeful people from all over the world who have loved and bought my work I want to give something back, so I made this online charity print gallery. £8 from every print sold will go to charities that work directly with people in need. Many of those are living with HIV and are orphaned children or women on their own." I discovered these charities through meeting people who work for them as volunteers and through following up newspaper articles about HIV/AIDS. "My inspiration for my art has always been about love and relationships, either with yourself, another person, or with the world. So, this little website seems appropriate to my aims. Have a look at Gallery and Gallery2 to see my work".
The Prints come mounted onto 30X40 cms (approx A3) white card. They make a very personal gift, convey warmth by their colour as well as by the emotion they evoke. My images have life in them and perhaps can help bring life to others, from the pleasure the images arouse to the financial contribution the images can generate.
