Artists Masks

AM 1 - "Heather"

AM 2 - "Loneliness of Male Breast Cancer"

Artist : Maria Hormaza

I have been inspired by my beads and thinking of all the friends and families suffering from cancer.

I honor them!

VOTE

AM 2 - "Loneliness of Male Breast Cancer"

Artist : Jamie Simpson, Bob Dumas, Cameron Reval & Gary Ellis

Breast cancer is gender neutral.

Look into my eyes to see who could be the next victim.

VOTE

AM 3 - "Sugar Skull "

AM 2 - "Loneliness of Male Breast Cancer"

AM4 - "Pretty as a Peacock"

Artist : Sara Barlow

I fell in love with Sugar Skulls five years ago. The beauty includes the detail and how different each piece becomes.

VOTE

AM4 - "Pretty as a Peacock"

Artist : Elisabeth Ferber

The peacock is one of the most beautiful birds on earth. This mask is a reminder to all going through the trauma of breast cancer …"be strong and show your personal beauty and strength". Embrace your inner beauty and be "Pretty as a Peacock" forever and ever! This mask can be displayed or worn.

VOTE

AM5- "We're All Mad Here"

AM4 - "Pretty as a Peacock"

AM5- "We're All Mad Here"

Artist: Kim Levine

I was inspired by a deck of Alice in Wonderland playing cards. The fantastical characters, delightful though non-sensical story and playful imagery lend themselves to unlimited creative expression.

I created this piece as a celebration of the beauty that can exist within the madness of our collective human existence. We are ALL mad.

VOTE

AM6-"Tiger, Tiger "

AM4 - "Pretty as a Peacock"

AM5- "We're All Mad Here"

Artist: Emily Lewis

I wanted something that didn't look like a human face. Liked the tiger look as opposed to a cat. Put an elastic on it. Can be worn or hung on the wall. Painted with acrylics, added faux fur and plastic "whiskers".

VOTE

AM 7 - "Calusa Indian Wild Cat Mask "

Artist : Dodi Truenow

The mask form was built up with paper mache. Drywall

compound was added, sculpted and painted to resemble carved wood. It's creation was inspired by a recent trip to Marco Island Historical Museum, featuring Calusa Indian artifacts.

Being a Florida native and nature enthusiast, I love all things Florida. This mask is based on watercolors painted by Wells Sawyer during the 1896 excavation. "Wild Cat" is the first in a series of Calusa masks and artifacts I will create.

VOTE

AM 8 - "Story Interrupted "

AM 7 - "Calusa Indian Wild Cat Mask "

Artist : Wilhelmina Korevaar

Written onto every face are story lines that tell a woman's story. Cancer interrupts the continuity of lines and stories may renew after treatment.

VOTE

AM 9 - "Wiped Out "

AM 7 - "Calusa Indian Wild Cat Mask "

AM 9 - "Wiped Out "

Artist : Louise M. Gardella

I had breast cancer in 1998. After having a lumpectomy, I have been cancer free. My inspiration came from my hope that we can be able to say that cancer (breast) can be wiped out in the very near future.
