story.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer, for a second time, in 2005 and I was treated with a combination of Cytoxan, Taxol, and Herceptin. I have no idea what Herceptin looks like under the microscope, but I do know that it helped save my life. This painting was inspired by my desire to give Herceptin a physical identity.

dedication.

This is dedicated, in spirit, to all those who need the courage to confront their illness. I hope this painting encourages others to develop their own freedom of expression. In a time of personal crisis, sharing is the pathway that leads to harmony with one’s self and with others.
