Jackie Levin

Jackie Levin is an artist and writer from Minnesota who has developed a line of inspirational cards and she proudly donates her proceeds from her sales to the NLOCF. Jackie's mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer late in life. During her mom's treatment, Lori Livingston's sister, Amy, recommended strongly that Jackie have a CA125 done to screen for the same cancer. To her dismay, the CA125 showed she had the early stages of the disease. Jackie endured surgery and treatment herself, while taking care of her dying mother. Early detection saved Jackie's life and it could save yours. Jackie is continuing her commitment to help create awareness about Ovarian Cancer and help find a cure.

Suzanne T. Berman

Artist Statement

Suzanne Tayrn Berman is an artist, exercise physiologist, interior decorator, wife, and mother of two. A self-taught artist, Suzy did not begin painting until she was thirty-five. "The desire to paint was always in my heart, it just did not make it down to my hand until I became thirty-five." Working predominantly in acrylic on canvas, her subject matter may be whimsical fruits, serious nudes, moody landscapes, or joyful flowers. Whatever the subject matter, the ultimate goal is to forge an emotional connection with the viewer. For Suzy, the ultimate satisfaction comes upon hearing from a buyer, "Your painting makes me smile each time I look at it." Suzy is proud and honored to join in the quest for a cure for ovarian cancer.
