Conrad Furey 1954-2008
Knot A Breast would also like to acknowledge Hamilton artist Conrad Furey, for his support of our team. Not only did Conrad design our two beautiful team pins but he also donated an original painting to our auction in 2004. He designed and painted a mural for the Jurvinski Cancer Centre which included an image of a dragon boat with paddlers based (however loosely) on members of Knot A Breast. Conrad passed away in January 2008 but his wife, Theresa, and their daughter continue to support our team.
For more information about Conrad and his work visit the Conrad Furey Gallery.
