Tribute & Aftermath · A Memorial Art Exhibit
Every painting here began as a letter.
A growing collection of original artwork, each piece created in response to a parent’s letter to their baby in heaven. Each canvas says the same quiet thing: this life was real, it is remembered — and there is hope for the heart that carries it.

Our Mission
The Tribute Project honors lives lost to abortion, guides women and men toward hope and healing in Jesus, and brings abortion’s unspoken impact into the light through our traveling Memorial Art Exhibit.

Tribute & Aftermath Memorial Art Exhibit
A 501(c)(3) Ministry
Every Letter Answered with Original Art
We’ve been where you are — and we’re here to walk alongside you. There is a way through, to hope, healing, and forgiveness.
The Process
From letter to lasting tribute
I · The Letter
A parent writes
In their own hand, in their own time — a letter to their baby in heaven. There is no right way, and no words are too small.
II · The Painting
Polly answers in paint
Every letter is read slowly and answered with an original painting — one canvas, made for one child.
III · The Exhibit
The memorial grows
The original joins the Tribute & Aftermath Memorial Art Exhibit, traveling to churches across the country.
IV · The Tribute
A print comes home
The parent receives a framed fine art print of their child’s painting — a lasting tribute, for their wall, for always.
From the Collection
Second Chance
Mixed media on canvas · created in response to a mother’s letter to her son
Each work in the collection carries a story like this one — words a parent finally found, answered in color and texture. The originals travel with the exhibit; a framed print goes home to the family.
The Artist
Polly Lunetto
Artist and ordained chaplain, Polly has spent nearly three decades walking with women. She founded this ministry in 2024 and is the author of A Choice to Remember.
Ask her about the work, and her answer is the whole ministry in one sentence:
“I paint what’s hidden — and bring it to the surface.”

When You’re Ready
Write to your child
Healing begins with a single letter. There is no cost to begin, and no one is ever turned away. Tributes are offered with a gift of any size, so that money is never a barrier between a parent and their child’s memory.
“God’s not mad at you — He’s mad about you.”
Your letter is received with care and complete confidentiality.
