Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In the background with the doctors is Therese. She has on black pants and pink shoes, and is holding a camera. She stands out from the rest, but it not the center focus of the painting, because her pictures were used to help others, and I figured I should keep it that way. She is the unsung hero, but if she’s anything like my mother, then she wouldn’t want to be in the center stage."
