Creative Friendship

11 Nov

Ask anyone who has/has had cancer – they’ll tell you one of the biggest surprises from their ‘journey’ is some of the wonderful, but somewhat unexpected friendships they’ve developed along the way.

The gifted woman who painted these incredible artworks is someone I may not have come across, had it not been for my diagnosis and subsequent attendance at a Cancer Council support group.

Lori is also a ‘boob girl’ (my Mum’s age, with an adult son and daughter), and although through surgery and chemotherapy successfully – is still very much living ‘with cancer’. The terminology she uses though, is her ‘adventure’.

You may find it hard to believe (as I did at first), that these pieces were done long before Lori was diagnosed. Her sub-conscious obviously had a much greater depth than even she could have imagined.

‘The girls’ have been donated to Cancer Council Queensland. The very place we met, during our treatment.
More on Lori’s artwork to come.
