Artist’s Statement:

I have been an RN for 15 years and in my free time I like to draw. I decided to complete a collection about scoliosis, of which I am afflicted with and have gone through surgery, to help raise awareness of the condition.

Donald Duck - 8.5" by 11"; a portrait of the surgeon who completed my surgery, Dr. Richard Munk, who often talked in a Donald Duck voice to make his patients laugh; graphite on paper

The Serpentine Gallery - 11" by 17"; a study of a plastinated specimen from a donor with scoliosis; the specimen can be seen in the plastination museum at UTMC; graphite on paper

Real Women Have Curves - 17" by 11"; a study of a skeleton with scoliosis; black colored pencil on paper

The Masons - 17" by 11"; a study of scoliosis surgery; colored ballpoint pen on paper
