“The Rainbow Cicada” shows the beauty that our insect wildlife now has. With the use of water colour, the wings of the cicada can be shown with a gradient of many different colours that swap from warm to cool. This artwork uses a lot of contrasting colourations in one item to make the cicada seem almost like a rainbow to show its beauty. The light blue in the background leaves the cicada standing out so that it can guide viewer to the star of the image.

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.

Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.

Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.

Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts.

May Rob’s memory be a blessing.
