This past fall, Giselle V. Brown, a 16-year-old award-winning artist live-painted a stunning pink rose at the 14th Annual Pink Roses & Teal Magnolias event. The painting, symbolizing resilience, was auctioned and won by Debra Fogel. The final work of art was presented to Cooper Foundation board member, Debra Fogel, this week.

The Pink Roses & Teal Magnolias event celebrated the strength of sisterhood and the commitment of healthcare professionals at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper. With more than $225,700 raised, the event continues to be a cornerstone in supporting women on their cancer journey. The Cooper Foundation is grateful for Giselle’s contribution to this year’s auction.

Giselle is a Fine Artist that specializes in Photorealism. At just 15 years old, she completed Dad’s Portrait which will be included in the Lunar Codex— a time capsule set to launch to the moon through NASA in September 2025. The capsule, containing cultural artifacts, will serve as a permanent installation.
