Today’s featured artist is Reneé Dale with her submission titled “Hay”.

“Over time, chronic inflammation and infection damage the airways permanently, causing irreversible widening and scarring called bronchiectasis (which may require a CT scan of the lungs to be seen). By adulthood, nearly every person with PCD will have bronchiectasis. As bronchiectasis progresses, infections worsen and can sometimes lead to respiratory failure. Some people with PCD may need lung transplantation if their lungs fail. There is currently no cure for PCD, but there are several promising medical treatments that may slow its progress. While quality of life can be severely affected for people with PCD, there is a wide range of disease progression and long-term outlook in patients, and there is no average “life expectancy.” ” ~ American Thoracic Society

The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD family member.

The PCD Artist Project’s 2021 exhibition merchandise ranges from apparel, giftware, home furnishings, and printed products such as posters, prints, wall art, and other items, all created from our exhibition; which can be viewed on PCD Smiles’s website. It is our hope that you support the PCD Smiles program by purchasing exhibition merchandise today. 

***All proceeds from the PCD Artist Project go to support PCD Smiles!!!
