Biography

She was born on May 28, 1985, in

Ewing's sarcoma.[2] She was in her senior year at the California College of the Arts where she was studying fashion.[3]

While she was in treatment, she wrote about her experience in a blog called Cancer Is Not Funny.[2] For Andres, writing about what she was going through and using humor helped her cope with the experience.[3] Her experiences as a young adult with cancer were chronicled in season two of the MTV series, World of Jenks,[4] and in the comic book, Terminally Illin, published by Last Gasp.[3]

As a fashion designer in New York City, Andres worked with Betsey Johnson and Rachel Antonoff.[5] She lived with Melissa Carroll, a painter who also had Ewing's sarcoma. The pair met during cancer treatment. On March 31, 2014, Carroll passed away after a three-year battle with the disease.[6]

In 2014, Andres exhibited art at

faith healer, in Brazil. Through the exhibition, Andres explored the connection between art and birth, as well as the physical and spiritual realms.[8] The works in "Viaticum" are self-portrait photographs printed on silk.[9]

Andres died on November 21, 2016, in

Manhattan, New York City, after an eight-year battle with cancer.[10] She was thirty-one years old.[5]

Andres is buried in Sacramento, California.[3]
