Doctors confirmed her suspicion and discovered it had spread to the lymph nodes. Her cancer treatments and subsequent recovery forced her to cut back her work hours as she struggled with fatigue, memory issues and a slow physical recovery. She said the cancer made her reevaluate her priorities and eventually brought her to the Tri-Cities to care for her aging 84-year-old mother and to open the new studio. Yellow Dog Integrative Arts Studio is named for Forbes’ 7-year-old dog Lucy, a lab mix, who used to be a regular visitor when she taught in Colorado. Lucy provided comfort to anxious children struggling to read. “They would put their hand on her and she would calm them down,” she said. Forbes said she hopes to work with seniors, retirement homes, cancer survivors, caregivers, children with autism and anyone who needs a creative release. “Sitting in creative community — it’s good for your health and good for your mental health. I see a benefit in that,” she said. An open house is planned from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 8. Drawings, activities and refreshments are planned. For more information about upcoming classes, call 719-510-1260, email lexie.yellowdog@gmail.com or find Yellow Dog Integrative Arts Studio on Facebook.
