Art from the Heart

ByTim Beard

Elmer and Anna Hill, founders of Art Helps Cancer, Inc., said that Art From the Heart began with a Facebook post of a painting of a cardinal. Besides being Elmer’s favorite bird, in myth and traditions, cardinals mean good health, happy relationships, monogamy, and protection. The painting of this cardinal sparked the idea of having an event where artists could provide their original pieces for a silent auction. The money raised from this event could help others dealing with this terrible disease.

With the creation of Art From the Heart, they have been able to assist others with
meals, house cleaning and lawn care. They feel that by assisting those in a similar situation, they could allow them to focus on their fight. Elmer and Anna said their
“Art From the Heart” event has continued to grow through the support and generosity of donors, artists and community and the 2023 Art Helps Cancer Event has once again surpassed all of their expectations and they are grateful to all of their sponsors and those who attended and supported this cause.
