Jenny Brake of Foundry gallery is one of those courageous women. Sheґs been experiencing tremendous support from her family and friends that helped her to survive. `I have had such a wealth of love, prayers, caring from these people and my church that it humbles me and I know in part, my strength in dealing with this disease and treatment comes from all of the outpouring of love and prayer. This has been very powerful and a wonderful daily wonder to me and extremely healing." - says Jenny Brake.

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is one of the organizations focused on raising funds to advance access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer-helping those touched by the disease today while seeking to eradicate breast cancer tomorrow. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has a special focus on helping the medically undeserved, including disadvantaged, minorities, the elderly, and those with inadequate health insurance.

Luba offered her art works exhibited in Foundry for a silent auction to benefit a participant in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. ґA portion of the evening's proceeds will help the Walk participant get one step closer to reaching her fund-raising goals... and one step closer to finding a cure!ґ - says Annie Weathers of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer office in Washington.

Luba Sterlikovaґs art exhibit is a powerful display of works featuring the symbolism of time in a woman's life and woman as a symbol of time and nature, sensuality and feminine beauty. Peter London, publisher of `Art in Londonґ magazine writes: `A sensual energy pervades all her compositions, demanding attention and holding the viewer in thrall.

The themes of sensuality and feminine beauty are manifested in Lubaґs works of female nudes. The voluptuous images floating through the lush surroundings portray the evolving essence of life.

The art exhibit runs October 1 - November 1, 2009 in the Foundry gallery at 1314 18th St., NW, Washington. DC 20036 with the Silent Auction on October 22,2009, 6-8 p.m.

Your work was featured at my LLS 1/2 Marathon fundraiser and it was very well received! The silent auction winner was very happy to win the painting, and it was especially meaningful because she had just lost her brother to Leukemia. Thanks for the support.

Luba is not only the finest of artists, but she has a heart and love for others. She has been blessed with a gift of creativity, but can share her societal concerns very easily.

I first saw Luba's work at the Florence Biennale (where we were both invited to exhibit in Florence Italy in 2007) I loved your work then Luba and this exhibition is magnificent.

Luba captures the ideal women in soft beauty. The flower-colors match the serene wisdom of life and the rooted strength through the ages.
