Iâm not the most comfortable or eloquent when it comes to difficult topics, especially on social media but the group show up @thinkspace_art this month, Fđck Cancer, is one that is very personal. . The folks at Thinkspace are family to me, to say I wouldnât have an art career without them is not an understatement. Iâve been working with them for twelve years and they have always been wonderful, committed, loyal, helpful and unwavering in their dedication to the artists they work with. They are the standard with which I measure all other gallery relationships. . I was devastated when I learned that Shawn, partner in running the gallery, was recently diagnosed with cancer. She is the comfort, and solace of that place, your biggest and sweetest champion, if Iâm ever overwhelmed at openings I seek out Shawn. The amount of folks that have come through that space, been loved and cared for by her is staggering, I am overwhelmed. . I am equally overcome as at the moment, both of my parents are also battling cancer. My Dad has been working through urinary tract cancer in various stages over the last 5 years and my mom was also recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Her chemo treatments start in a matter of days. . I am heartbroken, I am angry but I am also hopeful. I believe these three pillars in my life can fight and survive, they are strong and have many, many folks who love and support them. So, please go check out this show at Thinkspace, and if you are able, purchase some work, which will make a 25% donation to cancer research. Or send some good vibes, encouraging words, wisdom, healing energy, prayers or whatever you believe in, to help Shawn, my mom and dad and all those struggling with this cruel disease. Thank you! đđźâ¤ď¸ (at Thinkspace Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc-iVaLxcv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
