Today’s featured artist is Mel LaPour with her submission titled “For my Sister”.
“How PCD affects your body: Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that “clean” the tissue lining the ears, nose, and airway and perform important functions in other parts of the body. People with PCD are missing a building block protein in cilia, which causes the cilia to beat improperly. These cilia cannot clear inhaled particles and bacteria from the lungs.” - American College of Chest Physicans
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 friend or family member.
The PCD Artist Project’s 2023 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. It is our hope that you support the PCD Smiles program by purchasing exhibition merchandise today.
