Brushes With Cancer
November 2024
"Tulips" by Artist Anna Feneis, Inspired by Mardi Kaplan
Brushes with Cancer is a program of Twist Out Cancer that strategically matches artists with individuals touched by cancer (inspirations). Over a period of 6 months, the artist and inspirations work together to build a relationship built on mutual understanding and trust. The artist creates a unique work of art that is reflective of the inspiration’s journey with cancer. The program culminates in a celebration of survivorship and hope, where the art is auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the mission and work of Twist Out Cancer.
"One of my favorite things that I have learned is that good and bad coexist. Just because something bad is happening doesn't mean that good can't also happen. Through cancer, I've seen more good than ever before."
