There is always a blessing wrapped inside of a challenge.
I have always been fascinated with the creation of art. My own expression did not develop until disability began to limit my physical activity. I am a disabled artist with FSH Muscular Dystrophy, the most common MD worldwide. A portion of the net proceeds from this site will donated to the www.fshsociety.org &www.fshfriends.org to help find a cure.
I enjoy painting with soft pastels. The pure pigments yield a sensuous feeling and allow for simultaneously creating vibrancy and softness. The other mediums that I work with are graphite and charcoal.
Creativity comes in many forms. I have learned to paint with my left hand since I am losing dexterity in my right arm. You can often see me painting with both hands, my left covering the expanse of the canvas while the right hand draws the details. I let both sides of the brain work it out.
When my work is going well I feel a sense of connection, fulfillment and tranquility. I hope my artwork imparts this to the viewer as well.
