Artist Statement

My artwork is my truth and the unfortunate truth for many women. I was diagnosed on July 22, 2008. Through my ordeal, my art was cathartic. I used the canvas as a place to delve deep into my psyche to expunge the pain, the chemicals, and the guilt of my cells not functioning properly. I did not realize the silence from my body was telling me to wake up.

The work “Perception into Transcendence” began in 2008 and continues to this day. I have other series of work, but in the background, I always work on “Perception into Transcendence.”
