Dear Life, My hands are so important in my life. Chemo affected my fingertips, dulling them a little. I am conscious of this when I try to pick up something small, thank you tweezers; or when I need to turn a cap on a tube of paint, thank you pliers. Otherwise my hands are nimble, capable, sensitive, incredible vehicles for creative practices and acts of kindness, touching a friend’s shoulder. Inside out, hand’s on what is mine to do, hand’s off what is not.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

My jaw dropped open when I saw this painting, it is so amazing! You’re as capable as any “realistic” life painter, yet you’re such a free thinker when it comes to creating art. Thank goodness for hands. Bravo! Nina
