This painting is dedicated to those battling cancer with the hope that they can ring the bell.
Cancer is a life changing event. The first option for therapy is usually Chemotherapy. For those who have gone through it, or know someone that has gone through it, the bell has a special meaning. It means you have compleated your chemotherapy and can ring that bell. Unfortunatly, not everyone is able to sucessfully complete chemotherapy.
In April of 2025 I was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. The first line treatment was chemotherapy. As an artist I wanted to create a painting that representes my experience as well as those thousands of people in the same life changing situation as me. Once I saw the bell in the cancer center, I knew how I would capture my experience.
