To release my emotions about recovering from triple-negative breast cancer treatment with lots of chemo, my husband photographed me so I could paint this self-portrait. The message is that he still sees me as a whole person.

Jack and the Beanstalk was created by dry needle felting using American sheep wool with a 12 gauge wire armature. The giant represents Cancer or specifically in my case metastatic stage 4 Melanoma. The beanstalk is the immunotherapy with the leaves being the horrendous side effects, the goose with golden eggs is life and of course Jack is me.
