Maltese abstract artist and poet Michelle Cassar Wirth Cavarra is opening her first-ever art exhibition, and it’s for a cause close to her heart.
The exhibition aims to raise funds for Kate, a neighbour diagnosed with the extremely rare Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome, a condition affecting only around 400 people worldwide. Kate faces numerous challenges, including immobility and difficulty with speech, and requires specialised equipment and therapy to help her gain strength and mobility.
Born into a family steeped in artistic heritage, including her late grandparents Lewis Wirth and Helen Cavarra and her mother Mariz Cassar Wirth Cavarra, a ceramist and sculptor, Michelle has been surrounded by art her whole life.
Her exhibition will showcase her unique abstract works, which she says reflect her distinct perspective: “Take a close look and you shall see… when no one knows… the way the wind blows… when eagles fly high where no one can deny.”
The event will be hosted at the Marsovin venue, owned by Michelle’s father, Henry Cassar, and renowned for its fine architecture, heritage, and full accessibility. Guests can enjoy the exhibition, admire Michelle’s art, and contribute to a fundraiser that will help Kate access therapies, specialised equipment, and even a home pool to aid her mobility.
For Michelle, giving back is personal: “In giving, we receive,” she says, and this exhibition promises to be a celebration of art, community, and compassion.
