As a stage III oral cancer survivor (2020) I’m using my watercolour art to be a beacon of hope for those on a cancer journey.
I invite you to watch this video of some pieces I’ve selected to raise funds to donate to cancer research.
Here are 3 heartfelt ways you can be a beacon of hope during this season of giving:
1. Donate $125.00 (Cdn): and receive a piece of watercolour art. Each donation directly supports cancer research, adding beauty, purpose and meaning to your walls – elevate your space while making a significant impact.
Every donation of $125.00 Cdn. receives a high-quality watercolor limited-edition print (while supplies last). Receive a charitable receipt (in Canada only) for your generous donation, minus the value of the print (~$25.00-$35.00 (Cdn) per print)
They are archival pigment prints printed on acid and lignin-free 100% cotton rag fine art paper using Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308.
2. Spread the Word: Multiply Hope! Your voice matters!
By simply telling your friends or by following, liking, sharing, and commenting on substack, IG, and FB this effort could ripple through countless lives. Just imagine!
3. Grab a Copy of my Award Winning book: “Embrace Life, Embrace Hope: Cultivating Wholeness and Resilience through the Unexpected”. Not only will you gain inspiration and courage from this inspirational book, (a finalist with the 2024 “Word Awards” with The Word Guild of Canada and 2025 Bronze Medal Winner from Illumination Book Awards) but every purchase contributes to funding vital cancer research.
All proceeds received, by the author, from the book and art donations are donated annually to “The Ohlson Research Initiative Greatest Needs Fund” University of Calgary, associated with the Arthur Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Calgary, Alberta. Canada.
Let’s make these next few weeks about spreading hope and touching hearts and making a difference in someone’s life with cancer.
Together, we can be a beacon of hope in someone’s cancer journey by embracing the power of art – every brushstroke a beacon of hope – supporting cancer research that saves lives.
