go red

I was asked, and agreed, to donate a sculpture for the American Heart Association "Go Red For Women" luncheon and auction on May 8, 2009. The piece at left, "Soaring Heart" is the one I chose. It is a mixed media sculpture about hope, joy, possibilities, and living life with a heart freely shared. The dove is soaring from a heart which has grown rich and full, and attached to the base of the tree is the key to the heart.

Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association national campaign to raise awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of women (more than the next 14 causes of death combined), and women's greatest health threat; almost 1-in-3 will die of heart disease.
