Hope Lives: Art for ALS A collaboration between IEA & Hope Lives: Art for ALS Research Renderings includes forty-three stunning artworks created by 29 wax-media member artists of International Encaustic Artists. Members were invited to review and select one ALS research photograph to inspire up to three new artworks. The resulting exhibition is thematically cohesive and relates to how a person's body is affected by an ALS diagnosis: muscle tissue atrophy, spinal cord nervous system collapse and the loss of brain neuron and synapse function.
Some of the artists focused on the duality that is present in the research images - the beauty and the destruction. Others reflected on ideas like transformation, hope, the role of a caregiver and the ALS community. All participating artists applied with artwork that was studied, thoughtful, technically advanced and emotive. We sincerely thank each artist for their heartfelt contributions. Please help us in congratulating the 3 winners of the Lynn Giovannelli Awards of Excellence in the Arts: |
To Life Award - Artwork that reflects on life's preciousness and how we can make a difference in the lives of others. Exhibits intermediate techniques, an inviting palette and definitive theme. | Inquiry Award - Artwork that signifies the power of knowledge. Features definitive elements that encourage viewers to think about people living with ALS, ALS research or how ALS research ignites and propels scientists and the ALS community. Recipient: Mindy Tillery - "ALS 2" | Hope Award - Artwork focuses on the preciousness of time and/or examines how an ideology or faith can transcend pain and suffering. Recipient: Carol Lelivelt -"Intertwined" |
