Unlike V, I'm not an autobiographical artist and now wonder why. Perhaps, paradoxically, it's too personal and I need to work those things out in other ways. Or perhaps I just haven't experienced the power of art to help me. Sorry to see you're suffering from ailments! That's not a fun list to have, I know. Very thought provoking.

Sorry to see you’re suffering from ailments! That’s not a fun list to have, I know.

I'm mostly an autobiographical artist...(someone called me that recently, I never really thought about it, but it's true none the less) Everything I do tells something about me... Drawings, lots of drawings when it comes to physical ailments... I'll send you an example... A lot!

I've been working on a series this year "the Artist's Body"---could do 10's of dozens of pieces on this subject. LOVE anatomy work. Definitely!

I'd love to hear more about what you see (to the extent confidentiality allows) in the hospital setting... In the meantime, I have got to get my friend and fellow-quilter Susie to let me post a few pictures of her most recent work -- she is a former IV specialist and is now depicting cells with felt and embroidery floss that are graphic, amazing to look at, and scientifically correct.
