Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)
This is an acrylic painting. I made this during a family paint night in Texas! We were watching an eclipse! (ironic, right) I love this painting because of it's fiery colors and sassy mood. Also, I just love those stars!

Artist Bio: Tell Us Your Story
I have had two craniopharyngiomas, with one destroying my pituitary. My first one was diagnosed and removed when I was 5, and my second one when I was 9. I now have to take about a million pills every day to replace all my pituitary hormones, and a growth hormone shot weekly. Despite these challenges, I still live a happy and wonderful life. I have lots of friends and I love school!
