Art Speaks When There are No Words

Going through diagnosis, treatment and the aftermath of cancer is shattering.  There are frequently no words to describe the range of experiences and feelings. But there is art.

The intention of my art is to convey with honesty, acceptance and compassion the realities of a journey through and beyond cancer. It is my hope that survivors find kinship and understanding here, loved ones find insights, and everyone who visits leaves with a better understanding of what happens after the words "You have cancer."

My name is Kelli Pellegrini and I was diagnosed with triple positive invasive ductal carcinoma in 2012. It turned my life upside down. The art tells much of the story. The blog entries make it more explicit. 

There were very dark days, and then light. Throughout there was hope. I am grateful.
