The Glass School's Nicole Puzan is very sick, and her family has created "Art On A Wire", a virtual art auction to raise money for Nicole’s medical and living expenses.26 year old Nicole is a life-long Northern Virginia resident, a graduate of Richmond's VCU School of the Arts, and is an uninsured glass artist who was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer.
The auction will be held through eBay, and is scheduled to begin on March 13th, Nicole's 27th birthday, and will run approximately 10 days. The auction will include art of all kinds: sculpture, painting, drawing, glass, photography, ceramics/pottery, music, video/film, textiles, mixed media, and anything in between. Please donate to this effort to help Nicole fight and win the battle with ovarian cancer! A number of glass artists and friends of the Glass School are participating in the auction - here is your chance to get one of their works and help someone out! Click HERE to jump to the eBay link. It is starting today, & items are being added in an ongoing basis - so check back often!

Nicole needs help in other ways besides monetary - on Tuesday, March 2nd she started chemotherapy. Chemo eliminates cancer cells. However, chemo can also attack healthy red blood cells (RBCs) and negatively impact the body's ability to make red blood cells. One way to counteract the negative effects of anemia is through blood transfusions and donors are being called into action right now to donate locally in Nicole's name.
Nicole is blood type A+.
