Radiation Finishing Fourth Week

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 20, 2011, 11:06 AM




Hello!

Hello Friends! Welcome to my Deviantart gallery.  It's where I post most of my sketches and works in progress.  You will see a lot of studies and preliminary work, influences and concepts and ideas.   I think the process of art itself is as important as the finished piece.  So, in dedication to that maxim, I post random snippets when I have time.  

Radiation


I'm finishing week four of Radiation treatment to kill the large benign tumor in my spine.  I'm feeling much better now.  I'm starting to be able to do things pretty well for myself.  The temporary inflammation from the treatment causes a lot of problems with walking.  However, on weekends (in between treatments), I'm up on my feet pretty well with a walker.  I see a lot of improvement in the nerve function, but it's going to be a race to get to the end of treatment and then let the nerves start to work as best as they can again.

San Diego


San Diego in early June.  I'll take lots of photos.

Love you all, hugs and kisses.

Lavonia Morris
Artist | Professional | Traditional Art
United States
Lavonia is a fine artist working in Phoenix, AZ, but was raised in rural Mississippi. She developed a love for creative expression and found it easier to explore her world and express her feelings in terms of visual imagery. Her fascination with Japanese animation masters such as Miyazaki as a child evolved to include a large array Ukiyo-e and Asian influences as an adult.

She is a fine artist with an appreciation for unconventional creative methods that she combines with her traditional training. Partial loss of leg function through nerve damage in 2009 has influenced her creative methods and the way she executes her paintings. To minimize pain and her inability to stand, she paints sitting in comfortable spaces, employing a drawing method that keeps the artist relaxed to minimize pain as she works. Much of her current work has evolved from a process and content matter that has taken disability and turned it into a method for conveying emotion.
