oil and colored pencil on paper, 22" x 30"

In 2002, Mary Westring traveled to Uganda to confront the ongoing abduction of children who were taken by the Lord's Resistance Army and used as porters, child soldiers and "wives". She documented these children through individual portraits expressing their pain and suffering.

Ten years later, Mary has again documented these "Children of Conflict", this time with young adults who have lived through this horrific past and become the next generation addressing the changing needs of Uganda. Profoundly different from the children depicted ten years ago, this grouping shows healthy, hopeful and joyous young adults who are now attending college.

Mary and her family have worked for many years to bring attention to this crisis through a small but dedicated organization, uccef.org, which continues to provide much needed support for the positive changes in these children's lives.

Figureworks is honored to be able to showcase these portraits with their stories.
