RMS Titanic by Sophie Shapiro

On October 31st, 2008, I made a profound decision to honour the memory of every person and animal lost in the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15th, 1912.

 

This undertaking led me on a captivating journey of extensive research and introduced me to a multitude of fascinating individuals who wholeheartedly supported my endeavours. Along the way, I discovered that lives were also lost during the construction of this remarkable vessel, prompting me to include them in my tribute. The culmination of my efforts resulted in the creation of an art collection comprising of 1,600 paintings.

 

Today, I am thrilled to share with you some of these poignant paintings and accompanying music. It is my heartfelt invitation for you to join me on April 15th, 2012, as we commemorate the centenary of the RMS Titanic's tragic sinking - a time to remember and honour those who perished.

 

May They All Rest in Peace.
