Great Falls Studios Exhibit at Life with Cancer

I'm one of 19 Great Falls Studios artists exhibiting at the Life with Cancer Center at 8411 Pennell Street, Fairfax, VA 22031. The exhibit runs through December 31 and 20% of proceeds of the sale of art benefits Life with Cancer. There's a reception this coming Wednesday, November 10, 7-9pm.

A bit about Life with Cancer's Center:


Life with Cancer’s Dewberry Family Center, also known as “Carolyn’s House”,  is a free-standing resource center for cancer patients and their families. The new 16,000-square-foot facility combines the comforts of home with a place for cancer education and support of cancer patients and survivors at no additional cost. It is the only health system affiliated resource center of its kind in the Northern Virginia region.

The Family Center features a cancer information center, comfortable classrooms,  private and group counseling rooms, children’s and adult art therapy studios, a large exercise room for classes specifically designed for cancer patients, a teen lounge, a reflection garden with a waterfall, and a large dine-in kitchen for healthy eating cooking demonstrations.

Partially funded by the generosity of patients, survivors and community members, the Family Center offers a variety of education and support programs for anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis.

My pieces being exhibited include (from top to bottom): "Sunflowers II", "Sweet Temptation Cupcakes", and "Il Gatto".
