dnj Gallery's owner/director Pamela Schoenberg and artist Jill Covell sit down with KTLA to discuss the 'In Strength: a group show by artists connected to breast cancer' and 'Jill's journey' installation. They talk about how art can become a meaningful part of the healing journey.
As part of our ArtandMed program, In Strength reflects our belief in the meaningful connection between art, health, and wellness; highlighting artists who have a personal connection with breast cancer. Our goal is to create a space where creativity encourages conversation, fosters understanding, and brings communities together.
For the featured artist, Jill Covell, the exhibition is deeply personal. A breast cancer survivor, Jill began creating artwork during her treatment as a way to process the physical and emotional challenges of her journey.
Her collection of 20 paintings uses animals, colors, and symbolism to tell her story. Dolphins, for example, represent the need to come up for air during difficult times, while a dragon and butterfly symbolize the strength and vulnerability that coexist through the cancer journey. Gold lines inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery reflect transformation and the beauty of being put back together.
At its heart, In Strength is about sharing stories, celebrating resilience, and reminding those navigating the cancer journey that they are not alone.
We invite you to visit the show and experience the exhibition for yourself.
