About The Artwork
About Anjanette Miller was a healthcare hero who sadly succumb to Covid-19 whilst working on the frontline during the 2020 pandemic during lockdown. Anjanette was born in the Philippines later in life studying to become a healthcare worker and then moving to the USA where she always dreamed she’d be living and practising her career there she became a nurse in Chicago. During the pandemic Anjanette produced a video on Youtube that went viral hitting all the news networks in America including NBC. https://www.nbcchicago.com/top-videos-home/nurse-who-chronicled-her-fight-with-coronavirus-passes-away/2257777/ In the video she was trying to help other healthcare workers to not be complacent and describes how she became ill and was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes and later Covid-19. Anjanette seemed to be recovering and returned to work her initial test had been negative and sadly a few days later falling ill once again. My thoughts go out to her family and friends at this very difficult time. And so I'm honouring her with the national flowers of the Philippines Sampaguita (Sampaguita is considered a symbol of fidelity, purity, devotion, strength and dedication), Waling Waling ("Queen of Philippine flowers" ) and the leaves from the Anahaw tree (represent a great victory, strength, and loyalty).. The colours in the portrait came together as a natural process, her hair representing the rainbow through the pandemic a symbol of hope. I had been thinking of my title all throughout ~ “The Beauty You Desire Is Inside Of You” It seemed apt in so many ways Anjanette was a woman of strength, she had so much love to give and to care for others never putting herself first.. "I felt quite emotional once I had finished her portrait but I enjoyed the process, learning all about Anjanette, her strengths, her appreciation, her zest for life and sharing it with family and friends. She gave the ultimate gift of giving and caring for others.It gave me joy to learn about her and I wanted to portray this energy she had in her portrait. I just wanted to and give something back to her and her family which is I why she deserves to be honoured” She will honoured at an upcoming Group Exhibition of portraits of Healthcare Heroes.

Artist Statement Mandy's artworks are a representation of the world she see's around her. Inspired by pop culture, symbolism and things in life that she finds find intriguing. She like's to combine the use of symbols in bold paintings in an unexpected way to create a smart, colourful bold statement piece of artwork. She incorporate's her drippy paint technique along with glittering elements and her love of bold colour. Mandy's use of bold colours stems from the enjoyment of experimenting with colour and that not being afraid to use it and finds it is empowering and all these brought together is what really makes her artworks stand out. Her paintings are statement pieces that are a reflection of what she is herself and what she see's or feels, life experiences.
