They represent values that are in danger of being lost in the modern world.<\/h3>\nThe Seven Acts of Mercy<\/em> are as follows:<\/p>\nFeed the hungry<\/h4>\nVisit the sick<\/h4>\nGive drink to the thirsty<\/h4>\nClothe the naked<\/h4>\nShelter the homeless \/ welcome the stranger<\/h4>\nVisit the imprisoned \/ ransom the prisoner<\/h4>\nBury the dead<\/h4>\n

These are daily paintings (6 x 8 inches) derived from news media imagery that she began in 2006 and has continued ever since.<\/p>\n365 of these daily paintings were exhibited at Imperial War Museum North in 2009 and at York Minster together with her large monochrome sequence Stations of the Cross \/ the Captive Figure<\/em> this year.
