Chris Paul and Krista Stogryn
2017
The Victoria Health Co-operative and Creating Community Wellness Society were given an invaluable donation in December 2017 in the form of a custom designed artwork, titled ‘Our Gift’, by artist, Chris Paul. He and partner, Dr Krista Stogryn, have given a limited number of signed prints which are available as gifts to our donors who have contributed over $100 in a pledge to the Creating Community Wellness Society. We invite and encourage you to donate in support of our wellness initiatives and growing community. Please email wellnesscharity@gmail.com to request a print.
