I am a Heart Disease Survivor. On December 4, 2009, at 34 years old, I was admitted into the hospital for my 2nd heart surgery. It was quite an ordeal... But, because of ongoing cardiac medical research, I was able to have the opportunity to play with my little boy again without fear of passing out from an abnormally fast heart rate or fear of going into cardiac arrest.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I have volunteered with the American Heart Association to help spread heart disease awareness by sharing my personal heart story. I believe strongly in the mission of the AHA and help support raising funds at various events by donating my artwork. Each piece I donate has a personal story related to how I have been affected by heart disease.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I painted “We Got the Beat” as a tribute to my father who is also a heart disease survivor and is currently on the UNOS Heart Transplant List. I painted this piece in honor of him and to all those affected by heart disease. Each heart symbolizes the uniqueness in all of us. Our family history, story, struggles, life, scars, and experiences may be different... but, we are all UNITED in the fight against heart disease!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I am a
Heart Disease Survivor. On December 4, 2009, at 34 years old, I was admitted
into the hospital for my 2nd heart surgery. It was quite an ordeal... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But,
because of ongoing cardiac medical research, I was able to have the opportunity
to play with my little boy again without fear of passing out from an abnormally
fast heart rate or fear of going into cardiac arrest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
procedure and recovery were tough. I was in the ICU for several days. I had a
tube sticking out of my chest to help drain the fluid that was collecting
around my heart. I was in extreme pain. The surgery was considered successful,
but my heart still has issues and requires frequent monitoring. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">My fight is
not over. Although I have endured many cuts and scrapes from sharp “thorns,” I
choose to rejoice because of the roses among the thorns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Family and
friends are my roses. I also have loved ones who suffer with or have died due
to heart disease. I have sincere respect for others facing their own thorns.
Heart disease may be a silent killer, but its effects are not silent. Many of
you may have a loved one with heart disease, have lost a loved one from heart
disease, or has a friend who is a heart disease survivor, or... you may be a
survivor yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I painted “Rising
Up to the Challenge of Our Rival” as a tribute to my father, Carmelino, who is
also a heart disease survivor. He has had heart failure for almost 10 years. During
that time, he has overcome open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve plus
many other procedures to aide in sustaining his life. I painted this piece in
honor of him and to all those affected with and by heart disease. Thank you for
your support in helping to raise funds for lifesaving heart research. </span><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">It means A LOT!</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><br /></b>"<b>Summer Colors - An Art Auction</b>, now in its tenth year, was an idea born out of passion for both art and the patients of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC). Founded in 2009 by Jenny and Loren Koziol and Jill and Dupree Scovell, this art auction raises awareness about the hospital, while also exposing the Dallas community to up and coming local artists. To date, Summer Colors - An Art Auction has raised more than $106,000 for the hospital.<br />
<br />
Each year, local artists donate original pieces of art to be featured in the auction, with <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">all the proceeds benefiting Scottish Rite Hospital</span></b>."<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">I would love to see you there!</span></b></h3>

<b><br /></b>
"<b>Summer Colors - An Art Auction</b>, now in its ninth year, was an idea born out of passion for both art and the patients of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC). Founded in 2009 by Jenny and Loren Koziol and Jill and Dupree Scovell, this art auction raises awareness about the hospital, while also exposing the Dallas community to up and coming local artists. To date, Summer Colors - An Art Auction has raised more than $84,000 for the hospital.<br />
<br />
Each year, local artists donate original pieces of art to be featured in the auction, with <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">all the proceeds benefiting Scottish Rite Hospital</span></b>."<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I would love to see you there!</span></b></h3>

I homeschooled my son throughout his educational career until last year, when he entered 5th grade.<br />
We were extremely nervous about "sending him off" to a formal school, but we believed in our hearts it was the right time and the right place.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">IT WAS!</span></b><br />
<br />
We have found a family at <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.htcsdallas.org/">Holy Trinity Catholic School</a></span></b> in Dallas.<br />
It's a gem of a school in uptown!!!<br />
We have been graciously welcomed by the teachers, staff, students, and parents at Holy Trinity.<br />
We love being a part of this school and to witness our child flourish here.<br />
<br />
This year, I am honored to have the below piece in the auction at the school's gala on February 25th.<br />
