'Healing Gardens' exhibit opens
A collection of 27 quilts made by Northern Virginia quilters -- each quilt bearing the designs of cancer-fighting plants — opens April 4 and runs through May 18 at the HUB Art Alley in the HUB-Robeson Center, University Park.
The exhibit then moves to the College of Medicine at Hershey Medical Center for display through June. The show is a touring exhibit of the Society for the Arts in Healthcare.
The show was created as a tribute to Virginia quilting expert Lenore Ann Parham, who died in 1997 after a four-year battle with ovarian cancer. Later, Parham's husband, Walter, developed a garden of cancer-fighting plants in her honor. Each quilt depicts a plant currently under investigation or being used as a potential source of cancer-fighting drugs. Botanical illustrations accompany the quilts so the viewer can relate the plant and its botanical name to the interpretations.
