Hi! I'm a young adult cancer survivor - at age 29 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I thought putting together a little project, gathering entries from other survivors (all 11.9 million of them) would be, er, um fun? Imagine, if I get all 11.9 million survivors to answer and I print out all the entries on 4"x6" postcards, it'll stretch a distance from Boston to Florida. . .

About Me

I mark each day with a painting. After 5,500 days, I've no intention of stopping. Painting, for me, is a physical act of being able to leave proof that I was there. Having cancer as a young adult, I discovered living is not just surviving. I wanted a way to embrace each day, no matter how typical, so without excuse or hesitation, I begin each day by painting. The small, intimate paintings of ordinary, everyday subjects reflect an optimism that outlasts the fleeting light and fragile objects. The paintings create a structural framework of self-preservation. Each of these daily exercises is a vital component of the project’s ongoing, infinite progression.
