Nadine Archibald – <strong>kConFab</strong> Queensland<br />
I belong to a very vibrant and energetic art group called studio 8. I have<br />
been an artist for 13 years and had three solo exhibitions one of them<br />
in New York in 2003. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and<br />
a day prior to my diagnosis, studio 8 had a happy weekend painting a<br />
large mural on a wall. We used a large piece of masonite to mix our<br />
paint and the masonite board was left at my home. The board was<br />
covered with a myriad of colours with all sorts of wonderful shapes and<br />
textures. During my recovery I would walk past this board every day<br />
and it would always catch my eye. It suddenly occurred to me it could<br />
be turned into a contemporary or impressionistic painting of flowers.<br />
During the weeks of my recovery I worked on that board and turned it<br />
into a painting which I called – healing flowers – it reminds me<br />
continually how working with paint and creating helped me through a<br />
more difficult time in my life. It hangs in my bathroom where I see it<br />
daily and it is not for sale.<br />
