estimated value: $2,000.00 Melanie M. Brannan, Artist 24x48. Acrylic on Canvas You are the indigo in my rainbow This painting was part of an exhibition dedicated to my dear friend, Maryann Wegloski. Maryann made me a better person, a better artist, and a better friend. She did far more for me than I could ever have done for her. The only way to express my gratitude for, my joy in her friendship, was through my work.
MELANIEMBRANNAN.COM
Beginning January 2021, I painted in Maryann's honor, 24 paintings in seven weeks. Every day from January to February, I went to my studio and painted for her. Maryann passed away on March 11, 2021, from nodular melanoma. She didn't get to see the show in person. I texted her photos of the paintings as each was finished. It brought her great joy and eased her pain a little.
"This exhibition helped many people through the grief of Maryann's passing. Seeing the stories, sharing stories we all had about Maryann. It was the greatest gift I could give her."

BID In 2018, my father was treated for skin cancer. Unfortunately, he was not alone. He was one of 30 million Americans who are currently skin cancer survivors. And by 2040, Melanoma, the most severe form of skin cancer, will be the number one cancer among men. That's why I partnered with my mother, a dermatologist of 30 years, to start Get Mr.

She knew, like every dermatologist knows, that for these statistics to change meaningfully, men need to start applying sunscreen like they brushed their teeth, Every Damn Day®. The problem was, most sunscreens, well, you know...they were too greasy, or the ingredients would irritate their eyes. Or worst of all, they would show up white in their beard. Plus, most of the products used chemicals like oxybenzone or avobenzone, ones that the FDA no longer considered 100% GRAS (generally recognized as safe).
