About the Artist

I am a wife, mother, survivor, and many other things. My oldest daughter was tragically killed in 2006 when she was only 19. My mom (the only parent I've ever had) died from illness in 2014 at age 75. Less than 3 months later, my sister died at age 52. She had been battling some health issues, and I believe the loss of our mother played a part in her not getting better again. And in another sad twist of fate, my mother-in-law died one month after we lost my sister. Grieving all of these losses (especially the horrific loss of my daughter) is indescribable but I find comfort and healing in writing and connecting with others. ~Gwen
