 “Artmaking encourages vision, hope, and imagination, all of which foster the healing process,” said Gianna Volpe, MFA, who directs the Cancer Center’s Art Program and whose own artwork is part of the exhibit. The exhibit contains 65 pieces created in various media, including sculpture, quilting, painting, and photography. It can be viewed online until October 31, 1999, at the Center’s website: www.oncolink.upenn.edu.
