Artist Statement
My name is Tabitha Newport and I am Harper Newport's mother. Harper is the child that made me a mother in 2009. Shortly before she was two, I had noticed she had some strange eye movements that were uncontrollable. Since I am an MRI technologist by profession, my mind and heart lead me to believe something was wrong. After an eye exam and an MRI, we received a diagnosis of a craniopharyngioma. Since that day in August of 2011, I have spend most of my time fighting with thoughts of trusting God with her future and knowing that she is in his most loving arms, and beating myself up trying to find all the answers to help her live her best life.

Bio
I have loved being creative from a very young age. I try to capture every moment of this earthly life for its upmost beauty. I enjoy getting lost in creative projects to allow my mind to wander free of worry.
