Artists For Lyn

Artist Paula Waterman started a blog to help generate funds that would offset fellow artist Lyn St. Clair's treatments for breast cancer. Quite a few artists have joined in helping Lyn, and you can go to the blog to see an the work. If you are considering an original work, I encourage you to purchase a painting through the blog to help Lyn. Paula writes:


"As many of you know, our friend and amazing painter Lyn St. Clair has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will be undergoing surgery in mid-December and then will go on to a course of chemotherapy. At this time her doctors feel she has an excellent prognosis; chemo is being recommended quite simply because she is a young patient and so this approach is believed the most wise.
Like so many artists Lyn is without health insurance. She is painting but the bills are going to be piling up as medical bills do, and so we are launching an on-line gallery to assist Lyn in her efforts to fund her medical care during this time.

The way it works is simple: The artwork posted on this site is available for sale through the artist who created it. All participating artists are pledging to donate a percentage of proceeds from any sales of these artworks. The percentage will vary with the art and artist but that percentage will be posted. The list of works will change constantly as things are sold, or added, so Please check back frequently! Please send your friends to see this site!"
