The pink chair show is about to leave its exhibit in Georgetown and move to the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer in the Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care. It will stay there for 4 months.
The Committee wrote the following in their notification letter:
“As you know, the mission of Illuminations is to create a visually healing environment, offering enlightenment, inspiration, and encouragement to patients, family members, friends and staff through the visual arts,’’ the gallery review committee wrote to Schulte. “We believe your work reflects that ideal and will bring joy to many men, women, and children whose lives have been touched by cancer.’’
I am very excited about my work being placed in a manner that will help other people who may find it healing.
I am an artist. This is the story about my current project - painting a pink plastic adirondack chair. The chair represents my mother, Carolyn Elizabeth Pedersen Schulte, who passed on June 5th, 2011 and loved this bright color pink. She was proud of me as an artist and would love what I am doing. I take the chair to favorite places of hers and to places or situations I know she would have liked. It is a way for me to grieve and to celebrate her life.
