"Jane Evershed's art is delightfully colorful and refreshing and at the
same time deeply meaningful. Jane paints with joy but also sadness,
expressing our human yearning for a better world. She honors women,
children, and men, and celebrates the beauty and bounty of our Earth.
This is truly partnership art, which is why I have featured it in my
book on education. Jane Evershed's poetry and prose come from the
heart. Hers has been a rich life that brought her together with women,
men, and children from diverse races worldwide. She honors them by
celebrating diversity, caring, and peace. Her work is a testament to
empathy and love."

"I wanted an artistic representation that inspired people toward awareness and solutions to the HIV/Aids pandemic in Africa. This would serve as a resounding voice for the millions of orphans who are left without a family. The question that needs to be asked, "who will take care of the children?", needs to be answered. Art touches people's hearts and souls. Through this piece we are able to raise funds for our organization through print reproduction and sales and send a message that calls for change."
