In their words, through their eyes, by their hands!

Book
In their words, through their eyes, by their hands
by Art for Cancer 

In February 2012, the ART for Cancer Foundation held a week long exhibit at Toronto City Hall with the goal of continuing to raise awareness of the power of the creative process as a healing force. I was honored to have my artwork and my story displayed at this exhibit. The art exhibit was a wonderful kaleidoscope of colour, texture, shapes, and images, each uniquely demonstrating the healing power of art. Many participants shared their personal stories, which brought a level of depth and meaning far beyond the aesthetics of the art.

There were so many incredible stories of courage and hope that the one week exhibit did not do them justice! This book is a collection of their stories- in their own words, and their art – through their eyes and by their hands. My art and my story are featured in this beautiful publication. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to and benefit the:

Opening February 17, 2012!

Toronto City Hall Art Exhibit


Art Exhibit
February 17 - 24 2012
Toronto City Hall

The ART for Cancer Foundation will be holding a special visual art exhibit from February 17 to 24, 2012 at Toronto City Hall Rotunda, with a special silent auction to take place on opening night Feb 17. The multi-media exhibit will help raise awareness of the power of the creative process as a healing force, as well as promote the ART for Cancer Foundation’s free creative programs for cancer patients.

The ART for Cancer Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization, committed to improving the quality of life of people living with cancer by providing an outlet for creative expression
through the arts, and by supporting research into the cause, control and cure of cancer.

Sometimes there just are no words to express how you are feeling when you’re living with cancer. Painting is a powerful way to let your hands do the talking for you.

This is my contribution to the exhibit. It was inspired by my daughter and her current fight against leukemia (AML). This artwork is dedicated to her and her courage. 60% of the proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated to the Art for Cancer Foundation.
