Lynn Cancer Institute Wall of Hope by Mary Belle Cordell

Mary Belle Cordell will be working with the staff of the Boca Museum th Art School to make the painting of the ceramic tiles by patients and families of the Lyn Cancer Institute a success.  Each year several hndred survivors and patients paint beautiful tiles.  The painted tiles are then delivered to the Boca Museum Art school and they are glazed and fired in a kiln.  The tiles are then cemented on the wall of the entrance to the Lynn Cancer Institute.

Mary Belle finds this yearly project very rewarding.

The porcelain painting titled, “Tropical Day and Night” was selected to be in the faculty art show at the Boca Raton Museum of Art.

The porcelain painting included two large tiles featuring frogs, dragonflies, and fish painted as they would appear above and below the water.

Mary Belle Cordell is on the staff of the Boca Museum the Art School teaching porcelain painting, reverse glass painting and encaustic painting.

The opening was well attended, and the porcelain art was well received.
