The watercolors and drawings, "Surviving DES, " are a response to being a DES baby. My mother was given a drug, dietholstylbestrol, when she was pregnant with me. I have health issues as the result. The women who were given this drug between the 1940's through the late 1970's were actually being experimented on by the drug companies. These paintings and drawings, are my positive response to a negative situation. My art is my catharsis.
