How did Project Heroes start? Project Heroes was born in late 2008 by three artists: Susan Abma, Shairl Honey, and Cindy Revell who shared the same desire and dedication to honour and preserve the memory of Canada’s fallen heroes.
What makes this project so special? The involvement of the families who provide personal photographs to paint from and stories of their sons, daughters or spouses which help the artists bring the portraits alive with spirit and personality.
What is Project Heroes? This collection of portraits isn’t an art show- it’s an experience that will help connect Canadians to the person behind the uniform through stories given to the artists by the families, multimedia showing soldiers’ letters, poetry, photos, and other personal items. In addition there are three 6×9 paintings recognizing the families, the wounded, serving soldiers and veterans.  The exhibition consists of much more to be revealed as the project unfolds.
How is Project Heroes funded? Project Heroes is completely non-profit. Donations from corporate sponsors and private donors are needed to cover the costs of framing, making prints, crating, shipping and the numerous other costs involved in touring the exhibition across Canada. Additional money will fund a charity for Canadian soldiers or their families.

Help us locate the families. If you know the family of any of the fallen soldiers, please share information about this project with them and if they aren’t yet aware of the project, encourage them to contact us. Your help is deeply appreciated
Will families get a copy of the painting? Yes, we will make prints of each portrait and give a free print to the parents and spouse of each fallen soldier. The prints will be available for anyone else who wishes to have one.
Join our team! This is a massive project consisting of much more than the portraits and we need volunteers to help. Find out how you can use your talents to help Project Heroes.
