Me, about 3 years ago. No "post cancer" pics yet. I'm afraid I've lost some of my looks. Just imagine the head to the left with short spikey dark brown hair and more grey in it than I am comfortable with. After chemotherapy your hair usually doesn't come back the same. I hope I like the "new me" eventually, but I'd rather go back to the old me [just not older age-wise]. I should stop whining.BIO"Emerging artist Hannah Loesser, in her first New York exhibit, continues to impress with the impact of her portraiture, combining sensitivity and powerful renderings in a technique uniquely suited to her subject matter."
-just something good someone wrote about me. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write. Once I do, I'll replace that quote with more personal interesting stuff.
Here's some new stuff:
I used to be more of a traditional artist-no computers, just pastels and paint.
Since that quote was written (about 3 or 4 yrs. ago) , I've gone totally digital but haven't had any exhibits (I'm having trouble figuring out all this printing stuff). Stll, I feel the posibilties are endless with digital . You can do SO much more with digital. There are millions more choices--AND digital is NOT easier in any sense except for one thing: You don't have to clean up your paints or put your pastels back in the box etc... I know one should never say never, but to make my point, I feel I would never want to go back to traditional.
I'm 35, and was born in New York City.
At the risk of bragging and having everyone hate me, my father, Frank Loesser, (now deceased), was a famous musical composer. He wrote the music and lyrics to "Guys and Dolls', and wrote that song 'Heart and Soul"-the one that most people know even if they've never heard of my dad. Well. that's certainly enough!
I love you all. I love Renderosity. Thanks for being here so I always have somewhere wonderful to go to. Thank you everyone for your generosity, talent, incredible merchandise, and kindness. This one site has changed my whole life in the best way. Sorry this is so corny but I mean it.

P.S. Today,(1/7/04), I was told I have breast cancer. They say they can remove the tumor and I'll recover. However, if it were not for Renderosity, I don't know if I would have been able to cope. I'll have a few unpleasant months ahead but because of this place, I'll have lots of messaging, gallery browsing and uploading, and purchases to look forward to. I also have all the new friends I've found and who have found me here and I'll be making a lot more art. I don't know what else I could ask for.

My dear Hannah. I love you very much and desire than soon this your recovered health. The shrunk heart has allowed to your job to me. I have uncovered that you have given me a pants as a present and it did not taste it. I have discovered it by mere chance. Thank you very much. I am not credulous, but I am going to ask him for God that you recover yourself soon. I love you very much.

Oh you poor thing, I feel so bad for you and wish you weren't so frightened :( Wait the test results before thinking the worst - it may not be something so bad. Even an allergy can cause the symptoms you described so I'll wish you the best of luck :)

I hope you know that everyone here at rendo is thinking about you and wishing you all the best. You're a truly wonderful person and I'm sure your next picture will be more positive.

I never knew the lady and only found her gallery through the sad announcement of her death. A quick look on her gallery tells me that she was indeed talented and this talent will be sorely missed, not only by us on here, but by her family and real close friends. You know what makes me mad, a talented and gorgeous person like this dies when there are so many many wasters in the world doing absolutely jack, why God why??????? R.I.P. girl and maybe we will meet one day on the other side. Kev :(

A sadly prophet image. You are free from pain now -- soar free!

I agree with you warlord40k 100 percent.....and it is odd that this image sort of depictates her last stand.

We now know the outcome of your fear and it brings great sadness... but perhaps a lesson for the rest of us has been gained. My thoughts to you and yours.

May GOD gave you place in heaven!

With sadness in my heart and tears in my eyes, I write. In Heaven a new Angel is born and is safe in the arms of God and there is no pain. Rest In Peace Hannah.

Never knew you or art until after the sad anouncement. Working in a hospital I've seen how cancer can effect people and their families. I hope you found peace and I send my sympathies to your family.
