100 word paragraph on artwork

My artwork honors our two chosen resilient individuals: Clara Barton from history and Lynn Grady from the current community. Clara Barton and Lynn Grady connect to each other is many ways, and are both great people who did/do great things. Clara Barton founded the Red Cross, and was a teacher before she became acquainted with medicine and nursing the wounded (in the Civil War). Lynn Grady went through breast cancer and still lives a happy life today, which shows us that we can do anything if we try. When people see my artwork, I want them to "see" Clara Barton and Lynn Grady. In my artwork, the pink Breast Cancer ribbon is shown to represent Lynn Grady, and the Red Cross behind it to represent Clara Barton. We used tiles, ribbon, wood, and our creative minds to create this piece of artwork to honor the resilience of two special people.
