The Artist

Who You Support When you Purchase

 

What you are supporting when you buy my art, photographs, or resin art my life as an artist who is currently undergoing breast cancer survival. You are helping pay my medical bills, rent, food, and art supplies.

 

My story as an artist. I started drawing in my late teens and started with people and faces. I married and had 3 children and put my art aside to raise children as they did not understand not being able to use moms supplies, and wanted my attention. They were more important than art and I was a stay-at-home mom most of the time my children were growing up.

My 3 children are grown now. I have a son and 2 daughters. I now have a 3-year-old grandson.

I started back with my art as my children got to be in their late teens. I had to catch my drawing skills and other skills back up as they were rusty from me not using them for so long.

I currently do some digital still art drawings, photography, pencil drawings, and resin art.

I had 2 biopsies done one on each breast. My right breast was not cancer.

March 2 of 2020 I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, triple negative. Its breast cancer. I was diagnosed just as covid started hitting hard.

I had a port put in for chemo on March 26, 2020. Minor surgery but with a mask on.

I started chemo March 31 st, after my port surgery had healed enough. Chemo was every 2 weeks and 4 hours long. Triple negative cancer can not be treated with hormone therapy or other methods than chemo. It is considered extremely hard to treat, invasive so it spreads fast, and has a high rate of return. This meant I was treated with some of the strongest chemo there is. My chemo ended July 21, 2020. There 9 treatments. For most of chemo and cancer treatment I did not feel like pursuing art. I enjoyed my grandson mostly when I could and family.

I had a lumpectomy and biopsy of lymph nodes on Aug 27.

Spent some time to recover from surgery and chemo and started radiation on Oct 27 to Dec 14th 2020. I attended radiation 5 days a week and had 32 radiation sessions.

I talked to my doctor about having my port pulled out. It was standard to leave the port in for a year after treatment. My doctor thought it would be ok so I requested my port be taken out early and another surgery to remove the port on January 21, 2021.

There is still a spot in my right breast that has to be watched closely. I continue to have health issues and because of the type of cancer when anytime I have pain that they do not know what it is I have to have a scan or an x ray. I am getting better slow. But I still have a good bit of nerve damage and bone pain from the radiation and chemo.

Since January I have had blood work done 3 times, 2 mammograms, an Xray, a bone scan, a UTI, an 2 ear infections, an upper respiratory infection and underwent another breast biopsy on my right breast because of calcifications in the scar tissue from the first biopsy. I was extremely glad in was not cancer. I also still have problems from chemo brain.

I have Been back at my photography and art since having my port removed. Not as much as I would like to be. Resin art is a new thing for me. I got into resin art just this year. It was to help with the chemo brain. The only way for the brain to begin to repair itself from chemo is to be actively working at it. For those of you that don’t know what chemo brain is it causes a lot of forgetting, everything for me the short term stuff. Most things I must write down. I keep a task list of what I need to do. It causes you to forget the words you need at times. That part of it is mostly better but I do still often forget the word I need, and it takes a moment to remember it. My memory and brain is slowly repairing. Treatment is never over for a cancer patient.

I’m starting to live life to fullest again and enjoy my art, my family, and trying to repair my body and build back strength all that goes very slowly. I use to make 9 to 12 thousand steps a day easily. I went walking about two weeks ago and the first day I made 4000 and the second day I moved it up to 6000. My legs were weak after that and the next day I fell down the steps on the porch.

So its slow but art and family and a lot of love and support help along the way as I continue to heal.

Back to my art and love feeling like doing it! My pace at getting done does increase slowly.
