I have always made art. In 1997, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My disease has slowed me physically, but nothing stops the creative force in which I find unique and effective tools. My painting is energizing and empowering, using vibrant colors. I am exploring more abstract ways of painting as my arms become weaker and my dexterity more limited I work from a place of joy, celebrating my ability to empower my own life as well as those who view my art.
