Join MONK's Collaborations

NODAR'S SPIRIT

Thousands are adding their spirit strokes to "Nodar's Spirit", a collaborative painting of the Cathedral Grove trees dedicated to Nodar Kumaritashvili, the fallen Olympic luger from Georgia.

"I believe all of Canada stopped and cried and this is one way everyday Canadians can communicate their grief and support to the family. The crowds coming to add their stroke of condolence for the family of Nodar have really connected with this painting."

Since the Olympics Nodar's Spirit has traveled throughout Western Canada and will be completed this summer on Vancouver Island. Join MONK at:

• The Filberg Festival, Comox, July 30th to August 2nd – MONK is a guest artist in the Lodge
• Craig Street Market, Parksville, Tuesday evenings through the summer

Follow the painting's progress and join the Facebook group Nodar's Spirit!

"People of all ages and nationalities have taken part. The back of the painting is full of messages of condolence for the family. This painting will be sent to Nodar's family and community when it's complete."
