The idea behind art as a healing force came to me only after a brush with death and cancer.
I find art can be a way of solving problems and
understanding
difficult issues or
events in one's
life.
This series portrays my body throughout treatment, images I had seen or dreamed, and my doctors.
I have shared my paintings and my experiences all over the USA. I am the author of
"Myself Resolved: An
Artist Confronts Cancer", a book in which I relate my experience with lymphoma. I
also have a video, "Healing through Art", based on my presentations.
I have spoken to patients, survivors, health professionals, and many whose
lives have been touched by cancer.
