I was privileged last night to attend #BrushesWithCancer and hear from some incredible people. Among them was Tim Richardson, who described his journey in such a poignant way, and allowed my truly talented best friend @tanyazbili to capture the heart of it in her painting. So proud of her contribution to this special cause, and so inspired by the courageous people there. #BrushesTO #TwistOutCancer @tanyazbiliart

"Time moves slower in sickness - a week feels like a month, six months feels like a few years. Sickness becomes your master, your prison, the only reality you know. All your ideas, philosophies, hopes and desires shrink to a a single mantra, repeated endlessly: "I want to be well". When I recovered from chemotherapy and returned to Health, I was in a state of euphoria. I cried with joy at sunsets and music. Time passes effortlessly and imperceptibly. The world of sickness began to feel like a distant memory. I am left with a new mantra, a gift I keep forever. It is this: "I am well. That is enough." #BrushesWithCancer #brushesto @twistoutcancer

I'm taking part in Brushes with Cancer Toronto. I have been paired with an artist who will create a beautiful piece of artwork that tells my cancer journey this far. I met with the artist this morning and I'm so inspired and can't wait to see the finale product! It will be up for auction with other artists pieces November 19 at The Richmond in Toronto to raise money for cancer research. I hope you will be able to join me there!! #cancer #breastcancer #art #artist #journey #myjourney #myjourneywithcancer #brusheswithcancer #fundraiser #toronto #gta #yyz #inspiration #fundraise #cancerresearch

“Every Step of the Way” – Joshua Johnston for Alex Niles “When talking with Alex, several images and scenarios that he used in his meditation and visualization struck me. Being in a green forest looking up at the trees, the importance of soccer and the discipline learned from that in his life, the sound of ocean waves and the fact that he let reminder images of what he so feared show up periodically as well. I tried to include as many elements of his healing as possible so we could have a window of sorts into his journey. On the bottom right is the amorphous black blob of cancer. In the middle are hands supporting and carrying him while letting him still walk and run toward the green land in the upper left. The promised land in the upper left also has elements of Zentangle, a meditative art form.” – Joshua #BrushesWithCancer

Today we honour our TOC supporter and #BrushesWithCancer subject Alex Niles. Alex passed away to stage 4 gastric cancer last week. He was loved and cherished by his family and the community. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. His positive spirit remains with us always.

"Kaleidoscope" Oil/Acrylic/Collage "Brushes with Cancer" Ann Arbor, MI
"Life is a Kaleidoscope of challenges, hardships, and destinations. In other words, it's chaotic. How you choose to walk the paths, defines who you are." -Bowen Kline
I want to introduce Marie Jarrell. She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer over a year ago and has recently completed her treatment. Although she may never know if she will truly be cancer "free", this has not broken her stride.
I chose to depict Marie at her moment of "self-realization". This point in time when retreat was not an option. Instead of running away, she turns with head up and shoulders back to meet her adversary. You can almost hear her say "You will NOT take me off my path. I still have a lot to do."

Last night's #BrusheswithCancer reception was held in Voices Gallery right outside of the oncology ward in University of Michigan Cancer Center. The installment will be there for three months is especially poignant because patients encounter the art everyday and use the space as a quiet meditative area when they travel to and from chemo and radiation. Here, I am standing in the gallery with my artist @jasonfelde who painted this piece to represent my survivor story. #Beautiful

Tonight I took part as a participant in the first-ever #BrushesTO. I was paired with an artist, Renita. We met and i told her about my experience thus far. She is a photographer and created the most amazing portrait. Tonight was the opening gala and I met the man who bought the photograph. He was so excited about it and I was thrilled that he loves it. Me and my family will be a gift to his girlfriend.

"Victory" 30 x 60 Acrylic on Canvas. The colours in this painting reflect Tim's journey from gloom and darkness to the psychedelic colours of happiness and gratitude. They are wound through with quotes from #sufjanstevens "I want to be well" - a song that resonates with Tim, and gave him a break from the isolation of his suffering. For your Honesty and Bravery, for your understanding that pain can make you strong - Tim you have inspired me. #BrushesWithCancer #brushesto @twistoutcancer
