Newly Published Artwork by Marfan Trust Supporters

Spring has Sprung and blossoms are budding. We are celebrating with this flower-festooned image, showcasing artwork by two supporters, Joy and Lucy. Connected by creativity, Joy and Lucy drew floral symbols of Marfan syndrome for Genetic Alliance who published these in their Anthology of Rare Experiences, recently displayed at a parliamentary exhibition! 

by Joy

A rose, so strong yet so delicate. Genetically interesting & complicated. Studied by scientists. Admired by artists. Loved by poets. Whilst varying in size and shape, they inherit similar traits which are passed down through their genes.

by Lucy

I drew this Lotus Flower to represent Marfan syndrome because the Lotus flower is a deeply meaningful symbol for those navigating chronic illness, like Marfan syndrome, due to its powerful associations with growth, resilience, and transformation. I love doing creative drawings. It helps me express my life with Marfan syndrome.
