Gwen’s Lupus Sucks!!! Art Sale Fundraiser

Silicon Valley based artist Gwen Mercado-Reyes is influenced by themes of disease and decay in the human body. For her living with disease is a daily reality. Diagnosed with Systemic lupus erythematosus in 2005, she used her personal experience with the disease to inform her work over the years. In recent months Mercado-Reyes experienced further health issues with lupus.
