A young adult cancer survivor, I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in 2012. I used my photography to explore and support my process through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. I continue to use my art to stay grounded and connected to myself while reaching out to connect with others who may be dealing with a similar issue.
