This portrait of the artist’s daughter is from a series of watercolor portraits documenting the pediatric cancer family’s experience. The artist’s series of pediatric cancer portraits presents poignant and tender moments of this young girl who fought cancer, relapsed, and fought cancer again before receiving a life-saving stem cell transplant using umbilical cord blood cells. Hospital Hotspot, a watercolor on Aquabord, depicts the artist’s daughter, in high contrast + shades of blue, from a pediatric oncology room, receiving treatment for cancer while sitting with a laptop to do middle school homework. Warm colors, sparse in the composition, reveal skin and implanted IV lines. The young girl faces cancer with resolve, determination, hope, and strength. The artist recounts the family’s journey through pediatric cancer in a 2019 memoir titled “No Match For Her.”
