Bringing Their Faces Into The Light

Bringing Their Faces Into The Light honours those who have served Canada by telling their stories and putting faces to their names. Don Ward, a Veteran peacekeeper and artist of the project, spent two years working to tell the stories of fallen peacekeepers and Afghanistan Veterans.

The concept came to Ward while looking at memorials and plaques. He thought that there is so much more to the fallen than just a name and date of death. He wanted them to be remembered. The project features eight walls with 284 portraits of fallen peacekeepers and their stories. Ward created the images by painting a portrait, graphically imaging it, scanning it, and sizing it to fit on the wall. Each portrait took approximately 25 hours to complete.
