Regina Holliday lost her husband to Kidney Cancer in June, the same day the heath care bill entered Congress. She began painting a mural in memory of her husband, and to remind people why we need health reform.
Drawing from other famous works of political art, Regina uses her family's experience to explain the fallacies of the Health Care and Medical systems. As the health care debates continued through the summer, she adapted aspects of debate into her artwork, gaining a plethora of attention from Washington elites as well as media abroad.
