Anna U Davis: Road to Recovery

Former artist-in-residence Anna U Davis is showing her recent works in the solo show 'Road to Recovery' at Brentwood Arts Exchange.

Anna U Davis will exhibit an important body of work that delves into a powerful personal visual journey of living life with breast cancer. According to Davis, “1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. Breast cancer in women under the age of 40 is rare; less than 4%. Many women under 40 go undiagnosed because there is a common misconception in society that they are “too young” for breast cancer. However, breast cancer can strike at any age. I had no family history, but as it turned out, on March 21, 2013, I was diagnosed with multifocal invasive breast cancer at the age of 37. Road to Recovery is a collection of mixed media paintings exploring my journey from diagnosis, through treatment and into recovery.”

Anna U Davis was participating in a virtual residence program of the Swatch Art Peace Hotel from April to June 2023. Discover her trace artwork in the Virtual Museum.
