art contest
a former coworker of mine, cancer survivor, amazing mom, and most importantly a dear friend introduced me to this ART CONTEST. i love to create but i rarely put my creations on display and have not ever entered an art contest, but this one in particular is right up my alley. this one is the reason why i create. this one is for people walking the cancer journey, either as a patient, family member, friend or caregiver…
i was in the midst of creating this piece as i was grieving a loss when she mentioned the contest so here’s my entry. i’m excited that i will get to use this to raise awareness about the journey from my perspective as a caregiver.
“free to fly”
As a caregiver of children on the cancer journey, my viewpoint differs from that of the patient but the soul connects through strength and suffering. United in the same goal, the role of caregiver is a mighty prestigious one; an honor. These children that battle possess wings to soar, a heart to endure and the mindset to conquer. This piece depicts little lives set free and leaving an unprecedented valiant footprint.
