These beautiful hand painted art mannequins were done by California based artist Nina Luna.
Nina, a breast cancer survivor, had a mastectomy. While in a retail store she noticed a row of naked mannequins and it got her thinking about her body and how to embrace her new reality.
She started painting on a mannequin female form to express her feelings and the process was quite healing and transformative.
She plans to open an online store where she will have other art work as well as well as art from other breast cancer survivors.
Nina says each mannequins she sells a portion of the sale will be donated to a cancer research foundation. You can reach her at this email: thirtyfive35alive@gmail.com
You can view her YouTube video that describes her journey to embrace the female form as she struggled to accept the loss of her breasts.
