I have
always been artistic, from the 4th grade when I played guitar, to
sewing anything, and 20 years in leather craft. PBS taught me to
oil paint, then Multiple Sclerosis stopped my hands. I spent 1989-1994
paralyzed without a wheelchair.
My caregiver Jim, built my first easel so I could attempt painting
with the brush In my mouth. I was successful from the start. The
paintings I do by mouth are better than I could do with my hands!
It
is a totally different approach because the painting is 7 inches
from my face. Any discomfort I have disappears while I'm painting,
It lets my spirit soar again. Traveling on canvas from the deepest
ocean to outer space, I'm Free! No rules, No Gravity, just Creativity!
I wrote
a book about my crazy life, "MS My Story" which is available
at Lulu.com.
