November 2011 , I was diagnosed with breast cancer . american artist
Nina Luna acrylics
My art awakening began in October 2013 . When I entered a small retail store and saw rows of unclothed mannequins , I froze and saw myself naked and unclothed . I needed to cover them as I saw just myself exposed . Seeing the female mannequin some how transformed me , It was a realization to me that my breasts were gone . At that moment I realized how beautiful the female body is and how proud I was to be a woman and alive . I wanted to make her beautiful and what better way than to paint and use this as my canvas . When I first picked up a paint brush and started to paint my journey through breast cancer I had a purpose . I transformed my pain into strength and beauty .
I have since recovered from breast cancer as of February 2014 .
