Love Letter to Life 03.29.2026 NED

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I am currently “healthy” and living an active life. There are still doctor appointments, blood tests, PetScans and all the general medical routine health checks. I need to tell each new medical professional my history: Stage 4 Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma since 2020. Tomorrow I meet a new doctor and hand them a 6-page, single spaced, document of all the treatments and medicines I have had since diagnosis. Right now, I only take allergy two meds. Do I dare say, “No Evidence of Disease”. A miracle.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, The signs of Spring are appearing in my watercolors. I am painting a series of 30 Watercolor and Sumi Ink pieces. Nature coming into the work from the outside-in. A balance to my Inside-Out project. Blood and guts need nature’s healing!

Love letter to Life 03.22.2026 Spring Energy

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Grasses, flowers, and leafing trees are emerging. Spring energy is pulsing everywhere. I am waking earlier. My life, by choice, is lived in seasonal increments. Twelve weeks and a day at a time, is manageable. I review the previous season, reflect on lessons and goals, and decide how to move forward with my intentions for the upcoming season. I focus on the moment. I love living this way.

Love Letter of Life 02.21.2026 Wonder Land

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, My paintings are beginning to change with more color. The Inside-Out project is expressing some movement from the interior space of my body to the exterior world erupting in multiple ways. Earth energy. Human energy. Interconnectedness. I see this painting different today than the day I painted it. Wonder Land.

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I am grateful to have daily practices: prayer and meditation, reading and journaling, art-making and writing, walking and breathing deep, reaching out to friends and participating in community. These are the foundation for living a sane and sober life no matter how the world is spinning. I maintain my serenity consciously. I remember there is light and joyful love even in darkness. Lean Into Love.

Love Letter to Life 03.01.2026 Pure Light

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Light, My dear friend, Virginia King, passed peacefully from this world on 02.26.2026. Her beaming smile and loving spirit will always shine through the people who love her, rainbows, and stars. She and I shared the intimacy of a deep friendship and the complex journey of living with cancer. Virginia did this with grace, humor, brilliance and encouragement: “Be Brave, Pamela”.
Within me and all around me forever, I love you, Vee.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 02.25.2026 Inside-Out Exhibit

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I have the privilege of exhibiting my new work at Santa Fe Community College. These pieces are part of the ongoing project, Inside-Out. Here is the exhibit’s description:

The project, “Inside-Out,” captures my journey through the complex chemical and emotional landscape of cancer treatment. As an artist living with cancer, my life took a dramatic turn on January 14, 2020 when I received a dual diagnosis of two forms of Stage 4 Lymphoma. This diagnosis marked the beginning of a profound transformation in my life, as I navigated a series of challenging treatments, including chemotherapy, stem cell replacement, immunotherapy, and participation in a clinical trial. I created a series of paintings and drawings coinciding with each new treatment.

Through this project, Inside – Out, I aim to share my experiences and insights, shedding creative light on the intersection of art and healing in the face of adversity.

You are invited to see the exhibit at Santa Fe Community College, Fine Arts Building, 6401 Richards Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87508

Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
