Living in Hinton, Charlotte didn\u2019t have to travel to take part in a Wellspring Alberta art program. She simply logged in from home.<\/p>\n

Over four weeks, Charlotte joined participants from across Alberta for Discovering Frida Kahlo through Self-Portraiture, an online program led by long-time Wellspring program leader and artist Mark Vazquez-Mackay from Mexico City.<\/p>\n

For Charlotte, the experience became an opportunity for meaningful self-reflection \u2014 and a reminder that Wellspring\u2019s support and community can reach people wherever they are.<\/p>\n

Unbound Expression<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Wellspring\u2019s art programs don\u2019t just teach techniques; they create a safe environment for self-expression and personal growth. In Discovering Frida Kahlo through Self-Portraiture, more than 20 participants gathered virtually and were invited to explore symbolism and self-expression through the lens of Frida Kahlo.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery element in Kahlo\u2019s work represents something that she wanted to give voice to,\u201d said Mark. \u201cHer paintings were heavily laden with metaphor and symbolism.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a child, Frida Kahlo survived polio, then at 18, she was in a devastating trolley accident and left bedridden in a full torso cast for months. While confined to her bed, she painted what she was enduring: her trauma, her physical barriers, and aspects of her identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe made art not for others, but for herself, to process what she had lived through,\u201d said Mark. So, while living in Mexico City, just blocks from where Kahlo had resided during those years, Mark says he had an epiphany. \u201cI realized this would be an excellent theme for us to explore in class, a chance for Wellspring participants to process some of their own personal difficulties and challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each week\u2019s class began with a check-in, then participants were invited to examine Kahlo\u2019s paintings and discuss what emotions or metaphors they observed. \u201cThere was no right or wrong way to view it,\u201d said Mark. \u201cFrida herself never shared what her paintings meant, so the symbolism might mean something different to every person viewing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then came the prompt to create. Participants were not pressured in any way, nor were they expected to finish a piece in four weeks, although most did, inspired to work on their paintings outside of program hours. During the class hours, many spent time sharing their thoughts, while also painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty special space \u2014 thoughtful, caring and inspiring,\u201d said Mark.<\/p>\n

When the class culminated with the group sharing their self-portraits, all were deeply meaningful, and Mark was pleased when one member accepted his request to share her work more widely.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharlotte created this remarkable piece that I think others can connect with. I think it speaks to a lot of people\u2019s journeys,\u201d said Mark.<\/p>\n

For Charlotte, what was poured out on canvas was a personal journey, a self-portrait layered with memory, trauma, faith, heritage, and healing.<\/p>\n

Unmasking Cancer Through Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Charlotte says Wellspring Alberta has been a blessing to her after she received a breast cancer diagnosis in 2023 at the age of 46. Early in her diagnosis, her doctor suggested she look into Wellspring. When she did, Charlotte was pleased to find many programs she could do from home while recovering from treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so blessed with the online community at Wellspring, getting to connect with other cancer patients and survivors, and hearing their stories has been encouraging for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

While Charlotte has participated in many of the programs<\/a> offered through Wellspring, art<\/a> has been her primary focus. \u201cI never know what to expect from the programs I sign up for, but I\u2019m always pleased I did, as I gained so much knowledge and insight through these programs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I enjoyed about Discovering Frida Kahlo Through Self Portraiture is how art often acts as a mirror, reflecting our deepest thoughts and emotions. Learning about Frida Kahlo and how art inspired her to process and work through some of her deepest pains inspired me to put my experience on paper, reflecting on my own cancer journey,\u201d Charlotte explained.<\/p>\n

Charlotte was drawn to how Kahlo used symbolism to tell a story about her physical pain, emotional struggles and her identity. For Charlotte\u2019s piece, she also used heavy symbolism throughout her painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe symbolism was a wonderful way to look back and document my own struggles with cancer and what that means to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Key symbols in Charlotte\u2019s work include the unmistakable scars of breast cancer and the mark of radiation. Her hospital gown morphs into the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag, symbolizing her heritage and identity. Numbers in the painting represent an important timeline of her life: 77 for the year she was born and 23 for the year she was diagnosed. Tamoxifen being dumped out on the canvas, and the clouds around her head symbolize the brain fog she now experiences.<\/p>\n

Every week in the art program brought interesting discussions and a new layer to the paintings the group were working on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved seeing and hearing the other participants in our group share what they were working on and about their own journey and how it impacted them. We all inspired each other!\u201d said Charlotte.<\/p>\n

For Charlotte, the impact of this art project extends beyond the canvas and, like other Wellspring programs, reinforces her feelings that connection plays a role in wellness.<\/p>\n

Forward Focus<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Going forward, Charlotte says she continues to be grateful for the loving support of her husband, family, and friends, as they have been her number one advocates throughout her journey. She also shares that she has found beautiful blessings within the hardship of a cancer diagnosis and that, with the help of her close inner circle and her Wellspring community, she will continue to process, release, and find grace in her story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
