About
Diagnosed eight years ago with Ewings Sarcoma—a rare bone cancer—Andres has undergone countless rounds of radiation, chemotherapy and surgeries. While battling her own terminal illness, she’s advocated for young adults with cancer and has been featured on NPR's The Takeaway, BBC Radio, MTV, The Huffington Post, and Planet Cancer. Andres’ background in fashion design helps inform her visual art work, which combines photography with textiles, embroideries with hair lost from the side effects of chemotherapy and handmade reliquaries inspired by her own spiritual journey of healing and survival.
