Leonie McIntosh is an artist and a proud Wiradjuri woman. While studying for a Phd in education at Charles Sturt University, Leonie was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Leonie’s art has been an important part of her cancer journey. Her decorated masks have helped to raise awareness about cancer in her community and funds for the Wellness Centre at the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Service in NSW.
