Today’s featured artist is Erica Davidson with her submission titled “Blue Jay”.
“PCD is caused by a defect in cilia, which are microscopic, hair-like structures on the surface of the cells of the respiratory tract. Cilia are responsible for getting rid of mucous, bacteria and particles. When the cilia are not constructed properly, mucous, bacteria and particles get stuck in the lungs, sinuses and inner ear. This can result in a range of respiratory complications including frequent infections of the lungs, ears, throat and sinuses. Malfunctioning cilia can also lead to abnormal rotation of the heart and internal organs as well as difficulty getting pregnant.” ~ C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD family member.
The PCD Artist Project’s 2021 exhibition merchandise ranges from apparel, giftware, home furnishings, and printed products such as posters, prints, wall art, and other items, all created from our exhibition; which can be viewed on PCD Smiles’s website.
