ARTIST Anita Bowerman is a cut above the rest when it comes to supporting the region’s airborne life-savers.
The Harrogate-based artist has donated a special piece of intricate paper cut art in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
And it been turned into notelets now being sold to support the work of the rapid response emergency charity.
"I feel really thrilled to be involved with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance - a treasured charity saving lives everyday,” said Anita, who completed the design in three days using just a tiny scalpel, pencil and rubber.
"I love detail and telling a story and wanted to capture the grateful emotion we all feel when we see the Yorkshire Air Ambulance yellow helicopter.”
Anita’s illustration has been reproduced on high quality notelets now on sale at just £5 for a pack of 10 cards and envelopes, with all proceeds going to the YAA.
The charity’s regional fund-raisin g manager Helen Callear said: “We were absolutely thrilled to be approached by Anita with her stunning artwork and knew instantly that people would love the design.
“It costs the charity £12,000 per day to keep our helicopters in the air and helping to save lives and the sale of the notecards will be a great help in helping us to raise these vital funds.
To buy the notelets go to yaa.org.uk and visit the shop section.
