“What a beautiful life we created”

This painting was created for the Brushes with Cancer program, which pairs artists with individuals touched by cancer to share stories of resilience and hope. Inspired by Marianella, a courageous woman who battled cancer twice, this piece captures the joy and love that defined her life.

Through her journey, she found strength in her husband, Jack, and their daughter, Kiyoko, whose name means 'blessed child.' This painting celebrates Marianella's resilience and the enduring power of love, honoring the precious moments that bring light even in challenging times.
