The Backstory

In 2017, while in treatment for endometrial cancer, I began a series of 12 encaustic collages which I consider to be my posse. They protected me during this scary time.

These 9 by 12 inch paintings are available individually in floating black frames. Finished size is 11 by 14 inches. We can also make prints.

After naming each person, I wrote a very short story to add context to their lives. A zine-style book, "The Backstory" is now available for $20.
