About Me
I have always loved to create. When I was a child, I would sit for hours with a stack of scrap paper and draw. I never thought I could paint until I, like many people, attended a paint night at a local gallery. I wasn't great, but I felt freedom when painting.
In 2002 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. As the years have gone on, my disease has progressed. I no longer can do many things I used to. I struggle with chronic fatigue and chronic pain among the other beasts the disease present. I have found that painting, if even for a few minutes a day is a great distraction. Although I am often unsteady and frequently drop my paint brushes, I love painting and sharing my art with others.
