Wings to Fly

It's that time again I am working with Tulsa's Breast Impressions again. This years work will be displayed at Utica Square & Woodland Hills mall continuing to rotate until the Gala on September 1, 2010

The cast is not of the survivor but of a Tulsa Talon's cheerleader, who took the time to donate her bare breast as a model.

I am working from a piece of paper the describes the spirit and drive of the woman who survived the genetic disease of cancer. The survivor was asked to name her favorite colors & three words that best describe she said, "bubbly positive-minded and determined".....That drew me in: she reminded me of myself

As I was talking to Judi Grove she mentioned that she had three 20 year old women diagnosed with cancer this year one of witch had to have a total mastectomy. I am blown away by this Cancer & sometimes feel handy caped at my lack of knowledge of this epidemic.

I had a vision as soon as I saw this one cast. I didn't want to change my mind. I will continue to post more pictures

Goodnight Grace

I have my next piece with me, looking for something to do "she" came to me a Breast Impression . I named her Grace, I am unsure the real woman's name. I have adopted her to paint for the Tulsa Project Woman Live Auction, Oct. 25th You will also have a chance to meet Grace and 24 of her friends Oct.2-25th at Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa OK a sponsor for the Gala this year. This is the third annual Gala, I am excited to be a part of this. If you would like the chance to make a difference contact Judi Grove at breastimpressions@cox.net
I had a few to choose from but, I wanted one with a figure like mine. sides that I think I have more space to create what I am leaning towards painting. Of course stay tuned I'll post more as I begin.. no.1 is the original cast no.2 is once I rubbed her down with plaster.
