inspire.

Newcomers Project Soon
to be piloted in South Cambridgeshire/Cambridge, Caroline will get to
know three people who have moved to the area in the past year and paint
their portraits. The people of Cambridge have the second
highest level of internal migration in the UK, and Caroline’s project
will attempt to explore some of the positive effects of this, by
spotlighting personal stories. As
well as producing a thought provoking triptych to exhibit locally, The
Newcomers Project hopes to partner local media and be taken into local
schools and community groups. Once the pilot has been carried out, it is hoped the project will be repeated across Britain.

War Poets of Today - Correspondents in Conflict
This
collection of oil paintings by Caroline Jaine celebrates the spoken and
the written words of the men and women who risk and sometimes sadly
lose their lives in a mission to draw attention to the violent conflict
that exists in this world. The subjects for these expressive portraits
are a mixture of correspondents from around the world including Iraq,
Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, some known to the artist from her experience
working in these countries, others whose moving stories have inspired.
"I
was moved by the journalists I met in Iraq who presented me
with decorative business cards describing themselves first and foremost
as writers and poets" - Caroline Jaine
Likes British War Poets in the First World War, their work is testimony to the warfare they experience.
Unlike
the War Poets their modern day cousins provide a voice not just to
soldiers but to everyone caught up in violent conflict. A hundred years
ago civilian casualties of war represented 5% of the total. By the end
of World War I, the number had risen to 15%, but today 75% of
all war-related deaths are civilian.
