This painting is my emotions on canvas about me having cancer and undergoing treatment during a pandemic which has divided our country politically and has also impacted our humanity. The red paint represents rage, the black fear and sadness, the orange worry, the pink love, the yellow hope, the blue kindness and the purple confusion.

I am a breast cancer survivor of 1.5 years. I had bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction, and I am doing very well. I embarked on photo art as a means to showcase joy and beauty that surround us.

Be Still and Know

I painted this during my chemotherapy for uterine cancer. I needed to get some anger out and just started with the grey wave. I then found that doing my regular yoga really helped my mood and helped me get through it all so then I added the yoga pose and some blue healing light to the very dark wave.
