"This series focuses on my intellectual, artistic, and emotional journey as the wife of a man diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the perspective I gained as we transitioned from his diagnosis and treatment to his eventual recovery.

Almost a form of meditation, I found comfort in the repetition of simple circles, which represent life and death, the feelings of grief and fear, as well as the support we were given by friends, family, medical personnel, and strangers alike. The circular forms also relate to many aspects of disease, medicine, and biology. The cracked backgrounds and other textural effects symbolize the fragility of health and life.

These paintings are about life and survival and the connections between us all."
