The Portrait Foundation

Established in 2019 by Basia Hamilton, the Portrait Foundation is dedicated to unleashing the creative talent of children. This is achieved through art and, working with schools across the world. The Portrait Foundation runs extensive programs and competitions to engage children in painting.

One key program is a range of events where children are tutored to paint a portrait of their mother. Mothers are the unsung heroes of humanity, and are goddesses in their children’s eyes. To capture that key developmental stage, having children from five to sixteen years of age painting portraits of their mothers, is incredibly illuminating and engaging.

The results are many different views using different media and these are then ‘judged’, with prizes awarded to encourage the children to continue their development of creativity. Prizes include art sets with paints, bicycles, tablet computers (iPads) and more.

The Portrait Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation and seeks funding to award these prizes to participating children. Royalties that Basia Hamilton receives through the sale of limited-edition reproductions go into the foundation to achieve exactly that.
