Artists and Kisharon clients unite to raise money for heart rendering cause

Shemariyahu Black — winner of the Saatchi/Deutsche Bank 2015 prize for his painting Little Sister — said he had looked forward to each session with Yanky Kahan of Kisharon as they worked on a series of acrylic works on canvas.

“I’m going to continue volunteering at Kisharon because of the impact it has had on me,” he added.

Photo-journalist Adam Scott — who has a child with learning difficulties —said that collaborating with Kisharon’s Daniel Yefet and David Abrahams had helped to refine his own communications skills.

Kisharon chief executive Dr Beverley Jacobson said the charity was “constantly looking for innovative ways to break boundaries and raise expectations”. What the exhibition did not show was “the transformative change that has taken place in the participants through their involvement in the project”.
