MY EXPERIENCE
Every single line means something.
~ Jean-Michel Basquiat
ARTIST STATEMENT
“If it was perfect, it would not be considered art. I look at my experience with breast cancer as God's way of making me appreciate the blessings that I have. So I can only feel sorry for those who will never have the same opportunity. My survival is my inspiration.”
