I created and worked on this piece while I was going through radiation treatments for breast cancer. The work helped me get through a very difficult time. And when I completed the piece and my radiation treatments, I donated it to the Radiation Center here in Carson City as an expression of my gratitude for the extreme kindness, gentleness and care given by all the wonderful people who work there. The quote on the piece, “You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser, and more alive than every before!â€
