Artist Reception. Solo Show featuring "Showers of Encouragement" and other current works by Karen Sudduth, 2008 Wings Artist of the Year. Artist Statement: "During days of chemotherapy, things of beauty made me either laugh with delight, or cry with gratitude. In late March of 2007, one such place of beauty was the Wings Labyrinth Garden at West Clinic. The cherry trees, laden with light pink blooms, were graced beneath by a circle of smiling pink tulips, "holding hands" as if offering their encouragement. In the same way that the beauty of the labyrinth garden lifted me beyond myself and my circumstances, so, too, the encouragement of family, friends, and the medical community continues to reveal God's love and transform my heart on my journey, through and beyond breast cancer. This collage depicts the transforming grace of encouragement."

Each year, Wings Cancer Foundation selects one artist to honor those who have been touched by cancer and celebrate those who make it possible for support to be available to them at no charge. His or her works are featured in a solo show in the WingsGallery.

    This woman and her work have been such a wonderful inspiration to me. She is a tower of strength, hope, and joy. Whenever I feel depressed or sad, I know that I can call her or just look at one of her art pieces and my spirit rises. I'm not saying this as I would like to, but I just don't have the words to express how she makes me feel. I'm so happy that she is receiving the credit that she is due and that she will be able to inspire so many others with her works. Collapse
