This bright, translucent print memorializes the ten year anniversary of one of the founders of Self Help Graphics, Sister Karen Boccalero, who passed away in 1997. The light salmon and ochre green colors enliven the founder’s contemplative, forward-looking expression and pose, while the eagle feathers of the light blue SHG logo in the background resemble angel wings, paying tribute to the founder’s impact and legacy.
