National Marfan HeARTworks artist heart


Hi all!
I spent my "rain" day off on Friday working on my newest work of art which is to be donated to the National Marfan Foundation's annual fund raising gala. Artists create 3-D hearts for this well attended event in New York. Last year for the gala, I created an oil painting entitled: "Ribbons of Hope". You can view it on this site in an earlier blog.
This year I am creating a 3-D heart with the same ribbons of hope theme. The ribbons represent the genetic "ribbon" and research being done by dedicated doctors to help people with connective tissue disease. The rose represents a beautiful affected heart. All hearts are sold at a silent auction during the event.
I want to thank Cathie at the National Marfan's Foundation for her encouragement and support.
Keep checking back into this site to see my progress. Judi
