Sydney based artist Jennifer Lia has recently donated a piece of artwork to the RNSH neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

The artwork, titled ‘Little Miracles’, is dedicated to Jennifer and her husband Hayden’s two children, James and Matilda, who both received care at the RNSH NICU.

The piece beautifully depicts Sydney Harbour across three canvases and even has a special touch from James and Matilda, with both of their handprints featuring on the first canvas.

Creating the piece had Jennifer reflecting on her personal experience in the NICU and she was hoping to capture these emotions in the piece to provide comfort to other families.
 

“It symbolises a great journey, sometimes tumultuous but ultimately full of hope, love and connection,” she said. 

“The NICU journey is such an unexpected path and I wanted to instil a feeling of comfort, family and home in it.”

Jennifer said she donated the piece to thank the RNSH NICU staff for the work they do and the support they provide.

“I wanted the opportunity to thank the incredible doctors, nurses and staff for all the amazing work they do - truly miracle work,” she said.

“This was my own way to give back and show our deep appreciation and gratitude.”
