The Little Girl Smilesby Wendy J Hanson
| The little girl smiles as she holds back tears of shame and guilt and fear and wonders if everybody hurts as much as she does and as she gets older she hides because she doesn't want to hurt anymore and then she stops believing in herself and smiles and denies anything ever happened and one day when she tries to tell someone about the pain they don't believe her because the little girl smiles |
A Special Limited Edition Print was created, signed and numbered by the artist
The print was made as part of a fundraising effort to support the prevention of family violence and child abuse and to aid in the recovery of the survivors. The prints are lithographed on acid free paper, 40cm x 50cm, and were available directly from the artist for a limited time. The price of each print was $40 (US) and 50% of the proceeds was donated to an agency, society or shelter. Unless otherwise requested the donations were made to randomly selected agencies.
