I would still make things, whether it was sewing projects or crafting projects or cooking or gardening. I'm very passionate about whatever I'm doing and that work sort of took over and I found that I was spending less and less time making art. I had a brief period of time where I was completely a working artist, before I shifted gears and went into arts administration because I wanted a stable paycheque. I did art all through school and I went to university for painting and drawing. When I showed an aptitude, I started taking art lessons. We always had all the art supplies we could have ever wanted, no matter what. We were single-parent family, but one of our constant toys was art supplies. SR: You've had artistic outlets throughout your life, right? I have mobility and my pain is in control and I am able to enjoy life. It means that I am continuing on the clinical trial that I've been on for about 17 months. A little over two years ago, at the age of 37, Teva Harrison was diagnosed with metastatic cancer. It was incurable. Teva found herself going into a dark place, ruminating. Then she started drawing. She started with tiny flowers, then moved on to drawing comic-strip style vignettes of her life. Those vignettes are the basis of her book In-Between Days: A Memoir about Living with Cancer.
