Speakers
Manuela Strada Ballicu
Manuela helps others express their inner creativity as part of the supportive oncology department at Levine Cancer Institute. For 8 years, she has been an artist in residence in the healing arts program. She leads weekly art classes and provides therapeutic art to patients, caregivers, and staff. Recently Manu has also been leading and providing assistance to The Common Thread at LCI - a group where participants meet to knit and crochet. Knitting is another creative escape for Manuela, and she particularly enjoys making beanies, throws and children’s garments.
Manuela is a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who she gets to enjoy here in Charlotte, along with her little dachshund named Gino. Outside of art, and as a retired and avid tennis player, Manu keeps busy in other ways - like making hand made pasta, along with many other delicious Italian dishes!
