In September of 2018, I was diagnosed with cancer.

The good news is that I am cancer free at this time. Great credit goes to my oncologist, Dr. Andrade and radiologist Dr. Torres of Kingston, NY (ten miles from my studio/home in Saugerties.) There were many doctors and nurses involved in the process of destroying this “evil monster” as some called it.

Being a person of Faith, my number one source of healing and peace came from God. I felt His presence all through the procedures as He guided the minds and hands of all of those medical technicians. I did not feel sorry for myself or blame God for the situation that I was in.

I believed that I had a purpose in life which involved passion for art. I wanted to help others develop their passion for art through teaching or show them through my art how I saw their passion in many different ways. This show (Sept. 1 – Oct. 28, 2021) will be the beginning of a number of shows on this subject, God willing. To be continued…
