Mrs. Eva Fogarty, an 89 year old accomplished painter, had become legally blind in both eyes. In 2004, Steven L. Maskin, M.D. was able to restore her vision after ocular surface reconstruction and corneal transplantation surgery. After having her vision restored Mrs. Fogarty with her love of art was able to begin painting again.

During the end of 2005 Mrs. Fogarty found out that on March 11, 2006, Dr. Maskin would be hosting the First Annual Focus on Females® Women's Healthcare Symposium. She obtained the 2006 brochure of events which included the Focus on Females® logo, and then a few weeks before the event Mrs. Fogarty honored Dr. Maskin with two paintings depicting how she envisioned the Focus on Females® Women's healthcare Symposium.

Mrs. Fogarty has graciously let one of the paintings be printed as posters for the Focus on Females® Education Foundation, Inc. to benefit future Focus on Females® Women's Healthcare Symposiums.
