Why This Blog?

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!
I (Paula Waterman) will start off with a couple of my works that I hope to sell for Lyn.
Oh, if you do see an artwork you want to purchase you can contact the artist directly; their contact info will be with their artwork.

January 7 2009 Update on Lyn: she had her surgery a week before Christmas, bilateral mastectomy, and had no complications and reported actually dancing at a birthday party (a little) 2 days post-op. Sounds like Lyn to me...
She now has an idea about her planned course of treatment: unless things change she will be starting Tamoxifin for several years; this is far less disruptive than traditional chemo and so this was greeted with some relief. She is now starting to prepare to paint for Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in mid-Feb in Charleston, SC.
February Update: Lyn is doing well with Taxol and still working with 'her team' of doctors to decide any further course pending the outcome of a few more tests. Meanwhile all healed from surgery, working for the Charleston show SEWE and then the Tulsa show.

Thanks to all participants in this project!

Email me (Paula Waterman) for more info.

Also please see Lyn's amazing artwork, photography and stories here.
