Swag Design Contest Winner: Melanie Hower
About the Design
Although we’re told to stay 6 feet apart, this community has proven to be one of the closest communities out there. We all have similarities... We’re strong, we’re knowledgeable, and we stand up for ourselves. Although the inside of the disease isn’t all lovely roses, we’re proud to have the rose as our symbol because when we come together, we can create something beautiful.
About the Artist
Melanie is a 28 year old who was diagnosed with CF at birth. She graduated with a degree in Psychology, and with the help of Trikafta, she’s almost finished her Master’s degree in Counseling with a specialty in Art Therapy. Her focus is on children who have a history of trauma. When she’s not busy focusing on her health or writing papers, you can find Melanie in her studio creating artwork of various mediums.
About the Contest
Adults with CF were invited to submit a creative work of their own design with the theme “What does the CF community look like to you?" The six finalists were selected based on artistic skill, creativity and originality, and contest theme communication expressed in both the artwork and supporting statement.
