Artist Statement
I like to draw and be creative because it helps me to relax. When I make things they are all my own and don't have to be perfect. Art is fun! I like spending time with my Mom being creative.

Bio
Harper is 10 years old and was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma 2 weeks before her 2nd birthday. She has had 2 resections, proton radiation, and experimental chemotherapy. Her tumor has never officially gone away completely, and we currently take Harper to Cincinnati every 3 months for follow-up scans. Harper had secondary panhypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal insufficiency, growth hormone deficiency, and is legally blind. She has a contagious laugh, a beautiful smile, and the heart of a lion.
