Lilly Oncology on Canvas

This book began as an international art competition in 2004 open to women from around the world diagnosed with cancer, their families and friends, as well as healthcare professionals involved in their care, to express their struggles and successes in battling this disease through art. Lilly created the competition to recognize those women diagnosed with cancer who have used art as a powerful emotional outlet to inspire others as a means of self-discovery and self-expression. It is a show of work expressing own cancer journeys with a narrative explaining how the work reflects their particular experiences with cancer.
