September is childhood cancer awareness month, and it pains me to say Clara’s friend Wren was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. Her mother Jess is also a friend of mine and long time encourager of my art practice. Our friends sent flowers to the hospital and Jess asked if I would paint them, saying ‘they were so special and I’d love to be able to have something to remind me of this time that is beautiful and not just sad.’

I’m giving Wren’s family the original, and we decided to turn the image into prints. All the proceeds will be going to their family to help cover the piling expenses that come with having a child hospitalized far from home.

We hope this is a nice and beautiful option for people who want to help but don’t know how. Yellow also stands for childhood cancer, making the bouquet designed by Two Hands in the Dirt even more perfect.

If you would like to purchase more than one, Wren’s family is gifting extras to the healthcare providers at Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. Simply leave a note at checkout saying “donate extras”.

To follow Wren’s healing, follow her mom Jess on instagram and watch her story highlights titled ‘Wren Updates’.

If you would like to further contribute to Wren’s family, her mom Jess is accepting Venmo payments @JESS4545JLA.
