Artist statement:

"In the delicate tapestry of life, 'It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To' captures a profound chapter of my journey. On the eve of my 29th birthday, an unexpected call from the hospital revealed a diagnosis that forever altered my path—I had appendix cancer.

The initial shock left me feeling disconnected from my own body, yet amidst the roller coaster of emotions, I made a conscious decision to celebrate life. This artwork is a visual chronicle of that pivotal moment; a testament to resilience.

As an artist, I weave together the threads of my personal narrative with universal themes that resonate with viewers. 'It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To' is not just a reflection of my individual struggle; it's an exploration of the human experience, encapsulating both monumental life events and the nuanced beauty found in everyday moments.

It was carefully drawn with high quality artist pencils on 200gsm artist paper.
