GILL Hamilton has turned her talent into a great fundraising idea for the Steve Prescott Foundation.
After being approached by Angela Powers, she produced a unique and stunning painting of the ex-Saints full back to be auctioned by the Her Rugby League Association.
Now, the Steve Prescott Foundation is selling prints of the artwork for £15 – raising vital coffers for the charity.
“I had completed a large 15 painting commission for the Wolves Wire2Wolves project and was asked to display some of them at the Her Rugby League Big Night Out at the International Origin game,” says Gill, taking up the story. “Angela saw them and asked if I would be interested in producing a painting for the Steve Prescott Foundation which she could auction at one of their events.
“That was something I was more than happy to do.
“The original painting has now been autographed by Steve for auction later in the year but we decided to see if we could raise some funds for the Foundation by selling prints of the painting.
“The prints cost £15 (postage free) and after printing, admin and distribution costs, all profits will go to the Steve Prescott Foundation.”
She continues: “Steve is such an inspirational figure in the world of Rugby League and beyond and he deserves all the accolades given to him.
“I am honoured to be able to play a small part in helping out the Foundation.”
