Hometown: Local Artist Helps Raise Money for Cancer Research

Artist Lori Jakubow stands beside one of her paintings; she is donating a portion of her sales this month to fund pancreatic cancer research.

Williamsburg artist Lori Jakubow was one of 44 international artists who participated in the annual artCAN 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, November 3.

The sale of Jakubow’s painting, titled “Tickled Pink,” contributed to the $40,000 the event raised for pancreatic cancer research for Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Jakubow lost her husband Jake, who was a teacher at Bruton High School, to this disease in 2008.
