The Artwork Survives

Just thought I'd share some of my mom's artwork from over the years. She'd always been an artist and grew up to be an architect. The brain cancer really affected her artistic ability.

Pre-cancer:




"My ugly shoe on the BART train"







Post-diagnosis (roughly chronological):




I drew the bridge, and she embellished.


A portrait of my aunt.

Portrait of my sister.

A portrait of me!

Not really, artwork. Just an exercise I was trying to get her to do. She was unsuccessful.

Me, Halloween 1995 :)



We worked on symmetry exercises.

More symmetry exercises.



The last art piece she drew. Drawn on the night before she fell into the coma.
