The Angel Fish: Ordinary People: Spiny Babbler Museum
“The Angel Fish”
21”x 29”, mixed media People
at Risk
This
painting was prepared by a young boy from ROKPA – a home that
provides shelter for children from the street. Spiny Babbler has
determined that the program area for people at risk will receive
the highest priority. It features a program that includes regular
activities in Nepal’s only mental hospital, the country’s
only children’s hospital, residencies of girls at risk, children
from the street, and children whose parents are in prison. Note
the strong contrast of color and the well defined shape of the fish.
The angel fish is found in tropical areas and is noted for its bright
coloring and spiny fins.
