Products based on this painting will also be introduced and available for sale to raise additional money for the organization along with a generous portion of all proceeds of the exhibition will be donated to this organization.

“Mommies with Cancer” provides strength and support to families during a parent’s battle with cancer and is dedicated to keeping children and their parents together while they struggle to maintain normalcy in their home and family unit. It is the goal to help these mommies and daddies during these stressful and agonizing times by assisting with the family’s daily needs such as, child care, transportation, meal preparations, and general home care issues. Through the passion of life and the love of art, Mommies with Cancer hopes to touch the hearts and lives of those affected by cancer.

”I am so excited this has become real” and “I am so overwhelmed with love and appreciation,” said Linda Morin, sister of Cindy Nunez. Morin is also a leading contributing member of “Mommies with Cancer” organization that will help drive and grow the organization.

About Sonya Paz
Artist Sonya Paz is creating a new direction in the Pop Art movement through her exuberant use of color and playful forms. Colors and shapes that explode off her canvas' and you will find yourself reaching for more. Engaging yet simple, motivating and energized, colors that pulls you in like a vortex... all through her wild creative and positive attitude.

Sonya's paintings and vivid images are a reflection of her California roots and her passion and love for life.

Sonya continues to take her artwork to fun and rewarding levels. Amongst posters, wine labels and promotional venues, she has worked with many charities to raise funds to gain awareness for foundations as the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (HSSV).
