Fiber Artist, Lindajo Haythorn
Category: Place Archbold Oncology
Lindajo has been an art educator since 1982, specializing in art and dance therapy. She designs original pieces for Ancient Hands, her husband’s pottery studio, and paints Calusa interpretive mask reproductions inspired by the early-twentieth-century watercolors of Wells M. Sawyer, created during Frank Cushing’s archaeological excavations. In 2013, she became a nationally registered art therapist, helping individuals use the arts to process emotions, develop self-awareness, and address unresolved emotional conflicts. Her choice to produce a community quilt will allow emotionally resonant symbols, shapes, and patterns to produce a visual diary of a journey through a cancer diagnosis and how it has affected their lives. This quilt will be a multi-media piece created by survivors, staff members, families, and caregivers from the Archbold Cancer Center. The individual pieces will be combined to tell a story of faith, resilience and love.
