November 2011, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. american artist

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.
