Mara Hurst, Artist
I fell in love with art when I was a child. Art has always been the best way to tell a story, express feelings, and connect with the world around me. Art is the foundation humanity connects on. I want to share my love for art to all those around me, especially the children I teach.

A Child’s Garden
This chair represents children and the effect they have on our lives. Plants can prove to be wild and difficult to care of on occasion, but when we sit back and look at them, we understand their beauty. Children bring a natural colour and beauty to the world around us. It is important to highlight the profound impact they have, and the uniqueness they bring to us.
Interested in bidding to own this chair?
This chair will be awarded to the highest bidder after the Chairing is Caring program closes on September 15. Auction proceeds will go to the Healthy Youth Network.
