Clackmannanshire-based Artist’s Key Worker Tribute
The motion
That the Parliament applauds the recent project by the Clackmannanshire-based artist, Karen Strang, which features portraits of local key workers from all walks of life; notes that Karen started the project as a tribute to frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of lockdown in her garage and continued it at her studio in Alloa; understands that "sitters" were nominated through Facebook by family, friends or colleagues and include a binman, carer, shopkeeper and a bagpiping nurse; recognises that the works have been displayed at Forth Valley Royal Hospital as well as some at Optimise Wellness Centre's café in Alva; appreciates that each of the key workers have been gifted their portrait, and understands that the stories behind the portraits will be brought to life in a book, with profits from sales being donated to charities that benefit Clackmannanshire.
