Welcome Race Fans – Indy Art Project

There are many things that separate the legendary Indy 500 from other motor races from around the world, but perhaps the most noticeable one is—the people.

I’m not referring to the drivers, the race teams, the track personnel, etc. Of course they play a big role, but it’s the entire city of Indianapolis that plays the biggest role of them all, and the “Welcome Race Fans” launch party at the Indianapolis Artsgarden was proof of that.

In the presence of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway President, staff, and important members of the Indianapolis arts community, various versions of the iconic and traditional “Welcome Race Fans” banner were presented to a select crowd.

A total of 33 different interpretations of the racing slogan were created by 33 different Hoosier artists, and although some are quite “unorthodox”, others are downright awesome.

We had an awesome time checking out all of the artwork on display, and even Josephine got to pick her favorite one, which needless to say—it’s the one with the big-red-race car!

Check out our photos and let us know which one is your favorite!

Making the Hardest Decision of My Life – A Double Mastectomy

If you have read the rest of my journey up to this point, you would know we left off shortly after having a breast MRI. The results of those images led me to need yet another mammogram followed by another ultrasound. Up until this point I had 23 appointments between all of the scans, in-person […]

Finding Multiple Breast Lumps and Needing an MRI

After the first mammogram I found myself back at the breast surgeon for the test results. Much to my surprise, there were multiple cysts found during the scan and the surgeon needed to take a closer look. Once the lengthly ultrasound scan was complete, he said I simply had too many cysts and he could […]

Finding the First Lump

Found a lump. Now what? Finding the first lump was a total fluke. It wasn’t because I was doing the heroic thing of performing a self-exam, like all women should do. Given my family history of breast cancer, you’d think this would be something I was already doing. I could come up with many excuses […]
