I received the following email earlier today from Jules Anslow at Lowell Art Works Studios & Gallery and I’m re-posting it here to get the word out to our local art community. If you are able to, please consider making a donation to help out. Events like this in our lives can be devastating but through the help of family, friends, and community there is always hope and healing.
Hello to all of our lovely LAW (Lowell Art Works) supporters.
I usually send out notices only for our LAW shows, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me this digression. I’m sending this note in support of our precious friends and amazing artists Ursula Stocke and Ron Stocke. Ursula has just been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. You may remember seeing Ursula’s beautiful solo exhibit this fall just off our main gallery. If you know Ursula you’re already aware of her sweetness and generosity, and I know you’ll want to shower her with all the love, support and positive healing thoughts you’re able. A donation site (below) has been set up to help with the inevitable expenses.
"Hi everyone this is Ron, Ursula’s husband. Ursula asked me to share with you news that stunned us this week: Ursula has colon cancer. This is as shocking to us as it is to you. Over the holidays we celebrated Ursula’s 42nd birthday and have planned a jam-packed 2012 as well as the next forty years of our life together. This may postpone some of our plans but it is not going to stop us. We plan to fight this with everything we’ve got and we need your help. First of all – please keep Ursula in your thoughts and prayers. We believe in the power of the mind and positive energy. Secondly – like many Americans these days and most of the artists we know – we are underinsured.
*In the next few days we will be setting up a site with more information on how you can help.
We plan on having regular updates on her progress to keep you all informed.
Bless you and thanks… Ron"

We’re officially in the 12 days of Christmas countdown but there’s still time to shop and pickup some great holiday gifts for family and friends. If you’re looking for a special gift that is personal, unique and lasts forever, consider buying local art. There are so many artists and galleries in the Northwest Seattle area who create and sell wonderful and quality artwork, that finding something isn’t hard to do.
