Just like that my body and the planet aligned

Leticia Suarez

“With no words left in my brain during my cancer treatment, I found myself drawing my experiences and feelings. I found myself communicating to my loved ones my chaotic state of being through graphite lines over paper. Getting a cancer diagnosis can take away your logical thoughts, take away the ability to think straight and elaborate ideas comprehensible to others. Thus, throughout my treatment, I found myself drawing in my sketchbook, my passages and moments of despair. This is a small collection of episodes and feelings that I experienced during those painful months of treatment and uncertainties."

​

Leticia Suarez presents her new exhibition - drawings and illustrations that tell a visual story of emotions and episodes throughout her breast cancer treatment.​

Exhibition Open:
Thursday - Sunday, 10am - 4pm
From 1st - 25th October

Leticia Suarez

Leticia Suarez was born in Colombia in the 1980s, moved to the USA in 2004 to be an exchange student for a year and decided to stay to pursue her BFA degree with a concentration in industrial design. She worked as an industrial designer for 9 years, before moving to the UK in 2019 to pursue a MSc in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Design. Now based in Skipton under cloudy and rainy skies, she realised that all she needed to do was to stay still for more than a minute and be an artist. Art saved her mind, and a rhythmic mind allowed her body to heal itself.
