Ely

In 2013, for the second year running, very talented artist and A-T sufferer, Ely, has taken the title of Fundraising Queen with her painting, Alegria (meaning “happiness”), fetching a staggering $4,500 at the live auction at the Brisbane Cocktail Evening on Saturday night.  Congratulations Ely!

Ely was 23 years old at the time and took a total of 3 months to complete the painting.

Ely’s 2012 painting sold for a record setting $9,000 at last year’s Brisbane Gala Charity Dinner.
