Breast Cancer Awareness Treasury

My Art is quite whimsical and I hardly ever paint anything realistic. Art for me is a seed planted in my heart that then branches and flourishes like a tree through my mind soaking in my imagination but in the case of Breast Cancer Awareness, I can easily say that even though my whimsy peeks through, this topic is centered in my heart.

Two of the most important and influential people of my life battled Breast Cancer and these feelings gave way to this painting :

Shine On

My Grandmother is a Breast Cancer survivor :

And my Mother died from Liver Cancer that was metastasized from Breast Cancer last year.

I thought why not promote awareness on Etsy with a Treasury. I can offer my painting (seen above) in the collection and if purchased I will donate $25 to Susan G Komen for the Cure and find other great Etsy pieces that promote awareness and that might possibly donate to charity as well. So I created this Treasury : http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d71a248e0888eef8fc4f7cd/pretty-in-pink

Several of the pieces, if purchased, will have funds donated to various Cancer charities. All Sellers that plan to donate to a charity, have the charity and the portion of donation listed on their item. Even if a Sellers is not donating, the pieces are all still great for spreading awareness.

Please go check out my Treasury at Etsy as there are some great items in the collection.

My inspiration : 

 

Love For Me

Slender fingers grasp at me

Bandaging cuts

Healing

Thin lips curl for me

Smiling

Beaming

Magic is sung for me

Laughter

Bellies reeling

Love is showered upon

Eyes sparkling

Shining

My Mother's love for me

Timeless

Sublime
