Previving is an extension of a larger series of mixed media canvas sheets called Redefining Beauty Project, an ongoing collaboration with women across the world, brave enough to share images of themselves after enduring surgeries, biopsies, or radiation due to the affects of breast cancer. Previving is my own journey of living with the threat of breast cancer as a BRCA 1 gene mutation carrier. I chose to have a prophylactic mastectomy in order to reduce my risk of developing the disease. This series reveals the process of letting go, and of rebuilding, attempting to connect mind and body through the process of healing. As breast and ovarian cancers are diseases that are linked to external archetypes of femininity, when our bodies are altered, our identities are often affected as well. Like the clothes and bras that cover the scars to make us feel “normal”, and “like ourselves again”, the series reveals the layers and complexities of living with our altered bodies.

I have been a working artist for over 20 years. After growing up outside of Chicago, I moved to New York, where I received my master's of art from the prestigious program through NYU and the International Center of Photography. When I returned to Chicago, I continued to work on my art, writing and curating all while raising 4 kids. My work focuses on the effects of genetics, the mother/daughter relationships, and the body. I explore themes of cancer as a metaphor in my own work as well as the biennial exhibit I curate, Voices & Visions, Standing on the Bridge Between Health and Disease. The mind, body and spirit connections and separations echo the theme in art that out of darkness comes light.
