Toward the end of 2007 I was asked to submit something to a Charity Auction here in Prague. The point of the auction is to raise funds so that children with hearing difficulties can be given a cochlear implant. I submitted 'Nlemvo', a reclining nude sketch drawn with pastel on deep blue Ingres paper. Nlemvo is a Congolese word meaning 'Grace' and as the auction had an African theme (not sure why)
