Valerie took the photo from the Westbeth roof on April 13, 2020 at 7:02pm. It was featured in TimeOut‘s “10 Great Photos of that rainbow over NYC

Valerie adds:
After seeing my rainbow photo a few weeks ago an artist in the UK named Paul Stafford, a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, contacted me to ask if I would donate my photo to an art auction, Artists for the NHS, to help support UK healthcare workers. Of course I said yes!

Organized by Paul through a London art gallery called Gallery Different, the auction is open now until May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Art created by over 50 artists during the month of April 2020 is included. Paul writes, “Funds raised will be channelled directly through mealsforthenhs.com and will go straight to the frontline to feed our wonderful NHS heroes, so do please bid generously!”

I am honored to help & hope you will too! So I added my signature to the photo and sent as a high res jpg which can be printed at any size by the bidder. There are lots of beautiful pieces of artwork in the auction – check them out & if you feel so moved, place your bids at https://www.jumblebee.co.uk/artistsforthenhs
