A Dallas artist’s two-year dream has been partially fulfilled after she presented her oil painting of Oprah Winfrey holding a child to the talk show host.

Shannon Kincaid got a surprise meeting with Winfrey Monday at the State Fair of Texas after the TV talk show host finished taping a show.

Winfrey praised the painting, which had materials about ovarian cancer enclosed, saying it was “very well done.”

Kincaid’s goal was to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.

Her quest was aided by Jerry Joyner, with Healthcare Art Consulting, and Dallas philanthropist Annette Simmons, who is friends with Winfrey.

Winfrey said that if her show features ovarian cancer in the future, she would let Kincaid know.

Matt Kowalewski Director of Business Development at Healthcare Art Consulting joined Shannon Kincaid during the presentation. You can also see Shannon's story in the Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News and on WFAA News 8.
