Pituitary Pillows

Watercolor paintig of the structure of the pituitary

When I first began my artistic journey, I was not in a great place. I had a brain tumor and the medications were heavy and harsh. Art started off as therapy for me. So much has changed in my life since that time. I am a walking miracle! Brain tumors change lives, whether malignant or benign. To those who have suffered or continue to suffer, my heart goes out to you and your families. Brain Tumor Awareness - Gray Matters, with artwork created by ArtistsQuest -- whether you are raising awareness, holding a fund raising event or gathering, or you are in remembrance, recovery or overcoming. Much love from ArtistsQuest!

Harvey Williams Cushing (1869-1939), American neurosurgeon and physiologist. Cushing was a skilful brain surgeon. He pioneered several important techniques including the control of blood pressure during surgery. He improved methods for diagnosis, localisation, and surgical removal of brain tumours. He studied the function and pathology of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, and showed that acromegaly (increased size of hands, feet and face) is linked with pituitary overactivity, while dwarfism is caused by its underactivity. A chronic wasting disease, Cushing's syndrome, which is linked with a type of pituitary tumour, was named after him.

No damage elegant shoulders, keep them that way.

It's a shame your adrenal glands can't read this.
