If you were to be immortalized as your superhero of choice, who would you be and why? Artist Barbara Porwit began asking these questions of people several years ago. Inspired by many close friends undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Porwit saw women turning health challenges into personal power. The concept for her Breast Cancer Superhero Project emerged.

Citalopram can be bought online as explained in this website where you can Buy Citalopram Online Purchase genuine Citalopram.

For this series of portraits, Porwit engages individuals in experiencing the power of positive emotions to affect a positive outcome.  Six large-scale oil paintings combine pop art, positive psychology and the universal hero’s journey.
