EVERY WOMAN’S STORY
St. Michael’s Hospital
Breast ScreeningClinic,

Commissioned by ACA Gallery & Hema Abeygunawardena (Catherine Collective)

It is my pleasure to offer the gift of “Every Woman’s Story” to inspire those who walk through the halls in celebration of women’s life to inspire and give hope.

Every Woman’s Story is an artistic endevor through 5 art panels to celebrate the female heroines of our times who as Mothers, Nurses, Teachers, Artists, Poets, and Friends, live full and rewarding lives giving, nurturing and mending the souls they touch.

These heroines live hard for us, while in this world, and then suddenly, like the last flicker of warm candlelight, they leave us and start a new journey, a new adventure, a new path of enlightenment. Their gifts to us continue to be learned and passed along to others. Their gentle kiss on the cheek can still be felt-somehow we find the strength to pick up the paintbrush and create a place for ourselves without her- or we pick up the pen and map out our own next chapter of life with her quiet guidance.

This art piece is a thank you of those who have moved on in celebration of their joy and an encouragement to those who have started the journey of walking through the breast cancer creening doorway.

It is a celebration of lives passed and lives to be lived. Remembering that every woman is loved, every woman is a heoine and Every Woman’s Story makes a difference

Mary Kroetsch was chosen from the ACA Gallery artists, as her work reflects women’s lifes and their stories as an asset to the art project.
