I have always been fond of roses. Pink roses, red roses, yellow roses, the beautiful painted coats that my mother has in her garden... and the combination of white, yellow and pink that are in my own front garden. As an artist I analyze the folds of each petal, each shade of color, and occasionally the butterfly or bee that is investigating what is inside.
As a tribute to the women I know, and those I don't know, that have suffered, battled, confronted, survived and lived with Breast Cancer, and those that have not survived the fight... I paint roses. In a simple way to honor their challenge, show my support and promote the need for more education, awareness and of course a cure... so I simply share this...
Paintings in the "Simply Roses" or "The Melissa Project" collections are available for purchase, and 50% of the sale will go to the Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness (early detection and awareness)...
Thank you for your support....
Ribbons of Hope - In honor of my friend Melissa, I began an artistic venture to bring hope and smiles to friends and family who are fighting various forms of cancer. My college friend Melissa, my friend's daughter, Jessica, and so many other women and men have fought and still fight before us. To their memory and in there honor I continue to support, and educate, and share... Melissa: July 24, 1970 - October 26, 2014 Ribbons of Hope - Because the fight continues.
