Fade to White.
I have spent my career in the biotechnology field, in my own way trying to help industry leaders discover a cure for cancer. Having had family members, friends, and colleagues affected by this disease and not surviving, I turned to my painting to express my desire to one day find a cure. This painting is acrylic on rice paper, measuring 60 × 15, and is called “Fade to White.”
