Dear Cancer

Earlier in the year I went to meet a wonderful lady by the name of Anna Antell. We had been introduced through a friend on Twitter because Anna was looking for a body painter to offer their services for a project entitled "Dear Cancer".

I spent an amazing day meeting some wonderful women at a lovely farm house in Oxfordshire (it offers B&B too, I'll try and dig out the link!!). They were styled and pampered and ultimately revealed their Cancer scars to be captured on camera.

These images have now been shown along with other artwork, poetry and sculpture at an amazing exhibition in MalMaison, Oxford.

Anna has also been featured in the Daily Express and here's the link to the article which gives much more information about her journey to create the wonder that is "Dear Cancer" - http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/207957/The-art-of-dealing-with-cancer

All of this has been about raising awareness and ultimately money to support those suffering with Cancer and to work towards a cure.

For more information about Dear Cancer and the links to donate to the cause through Just Giving please check out the Facebook Fan Page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dear-Cancer/149331745098338?ref=ts&v=wall

Have a look through the photo album from the launch and you might be able to spot some of my art work! :o)

All the best,
