SAINT-AUGUSTIN-DE-DESMAURES, Quebec (BRAIN) — Louis Garneau has sold four of his own paintings at $20,000 each to support Team Rwanda, the country's national cycling team, which is composed of young survivors of the 1994 genocide.
The four paintings sold are part of a Garneau's 12-painting Hope series. Garneau, who studied Visual Arts in university, said, "painting is a necessary outlet for me. It lets me express feelings and share life experiences. It is also a way for me to give back."
Garneau recently donated a check for $80,000 to the team from the sale of the paintings.
