Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)
“Waiting for the Results” is a portrait of my husband right after undergoing brain surgery in July of 2021. A benign mass “the size of a peach” was resected; thankfully, he has fully recovered. It is a powerful reminder of the fragility of health and a constant inspiration to be thankful.

The picture was painted in oil on linen panel, following academic painting techniques.
