There are some individuals who are survivors. Throw one catastrophe after another at them, and still they persist.

Artist Leisa Rich has responded to her recent Melanoma challenge by creating several works that magically transform Thomas Deans Fine Art’s new exhibition space in Aftermath: In The Pink. The show includes a massive, immersive installation that envelops the viewer by utilizing floor, wall and ceiling, wall-hung works of scar-stitched fabrics and zippered openings that spill their pink, floral guts, stunning embroidered gardens, a 3D printed chrysalis and free motion machine stitched butterflies, a large 3D printed, mixed media wall installation that resembles bleached coral in a process of regrowth, and circular panels of paint and fabric, among others. The use of white and pink are the reflection of the innocence and helplessness Rich felt while going through something of this magnitude, a death reckoning and subsequent rebirth as she overcame this major life-changing experience, and the hope that is inherent to being human as she goes forward and continues to heal. Materials: Fosshape, paint, dyes, resin, 3D printing, mixed media Technique: Crochet, heat manipulation, painted.

This is a view of Leisa’s gorgeous creation on a table in the sunshine on our porch. It has shadows across it… no way to prevent. I am absolutely stunned. Thank you, Leisa! It is a treasure and I will have hours of contemplation focused on my dream you so well captured in this wall hanging. The Regency Room, that is a library, sitting room with a contemplation corner and celebrating Jane Austen, is still being redecorated. It will be a couple of months before I can post a photo of this treasure on the wall in its home.

Leisa was so patient with me as I first described my dream and then continued to add more ideas as she gave me mockups to consider. I am not an artist and struggle to use words to describe what I envision. Leisa has captured my dream and excelled at all the details. I feel blessed and have excited anticipation of hours of contemplation with this artisan masterpiece. She is a master, listens carefully, then uses her exceptional skill and talent to create.,
