Next by Completion Date | Previous by Completion Date The Telethon Girl Series: My Heroes and Portraits 30cm x 40cm. Oil on canvas. Ref # 200424. Completed December 2004. Tayla Divitini was the 2004 Telethon Child in Western Australia. In press releases she was described as vibrant, charismatic, inspirational and many many other things. I agree with all of them. She lives with symptoms of osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disorder) and cerebral palsy which affects her leg muscles resulting in her having to wear legsplints. I have not had the privlege of meeting Tayla but cannot think of her without being inspired by her courage and zest for life. Hari Om .
