This vibrant puzzle features a field of flowers brought to life through the expressive brushwork of Calgary-based artist and art teacher Michelle Austen. Known for her love of nature and her passion for capturing life’s fleeting beauty, Michelle's work invites you to slow down and connect with the world around you.

Specially crafted puzzle piece shapes—like a poppy, butterfly, dragonflies, and a man carrying flowers—add a playful and meaningful twist to your puzzling experience. This puzzle also supports the Huntington Society of Canada, a cause close to Michelle’s heart and one she’s supported for many years.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic brain disorder with physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. It’s often described as experiencing ALS, Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s, all at the same time. There is no known cure.

• 1 in every 7,000 Canadians is living with HD.
  

• Approximately 1 in every 5,500 is at risk of developing the disease.
  

• Many more people are affected as caregivers, family members, or friends.
  

About the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC):

Founded in 1973, the HSC is a global leader in recognizing and addressing the needs of those affected by HD. The Society offers support through service programs for individuals and families and funds cutting-edge research.
