TRANS by Elizabeth Jeffries.
is a body of work
 that began after my diagnosis with an incurable type of cancer. These works interweave art, meditation, and athletics in an attempt to take control of my health, change my attitude about living and to have a better understanding of who I am. These works are presented here for other patients and families to view so that they may find inspiration in these processes to develop a strategy to aid conventional treatment through the creative process to confront the many emotions that surface. These are not proven healing methods, not replacements for medicine, but rather a series of processes and actions that helped me to pick up the pieces of my life and reassemble them as a stronger whole.

- Introduction -

If people knew what we know, felt what we feel, the commitment to curing lymphoma would escalate. The unaffected do not see us, until they hear those fateful words. But art has the capacity to show what's invisible, and sustain us too. See for yourself in our gallery. 

We are just beginning this important project.  Do you have a letter, poem, drawing ... that communicates your experience?  Consider sending it us by clicking here.   Please let us know if you want to use your real name or an alias.

We will be grateful for your contribution. We will also make a presentation of the expressions displayed here to our representatives in Washington.  -Karl Schwartz
