The first two phases of the Susan Reyes Schumacher Memorial Fundraising Art Sale were a great success, raising more than $2,500 for local non-profits to help cancer patients in Marquette County.
The final sale of the remaining artworks available for “adoption” will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, March 26 and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 27 at FlowerWorks at 1007 N. 3Rd St. in the heated Greenhouse. There, Susan’s work will be on display and a catalogue available to select the pieces you will fall in love with. All pieces will be marked down for a quick sale!
Paul Schumacher will be available to answer any questions and to handle the sale. Proceeds from the sale will go to Cancer Care of Marquette County and the Superior Health Foundation.
“We have a great selection of unique, beautiful and special paintings and picture frames that were created by Susan,” said Schumacher, organizer of the art sale in loving memory of his late wife, Susan Reyes Schumacher. “All those who have purchased a painting or frame have been totally pleased, and the stories of why they bought that particular artwork were heartfelt and sincere. Many mentioned how that particular painting reminded them of places they had been, or their children, or were just awed by the beauty of that artwork.”
Included with each piece will be provenance documents and a picture album of Susan.
Susan V. Reyes Schumacher was an experienced local artist whose real love was oil-based paintings and hand-made picture frames. She had a vision only somebody who grew up in the provinces of the Philippines would have. After she immigrated to the United States, Paul located her at a Christian dating site, and they married May 1st, 2013 in Seattle. They thought they had the rest of their lives together, but after just two and a half years of marriage, Susan was diagnosed with stage 4 EGFR mutation, a non, small-cell nonsmoker lung cancer.
They had recently celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary when she passed away on June 8, 2017. Susan was just 55.
Susan left behind her paintings and picture frames all made with her creative, feminine Philippine touch.
Now, her amazing work can be yours while supporting Cancer Care of Marquette County and the Superior Health Foundation. Please join us in helping those by raising funds to help cancer patients in Marquette County!
