2013, Halloween, I was diagnosed. I was an artist, teaching painting parties. My boss let me go, and with my symptoms, I was beginning to believe that I was no longer going to be able to create. I was lost as to who I would become without art. Through MS, I have taught myself so many different mediums so that no matter the symptom I could create, and have been offered so many amazing opportunities to further my art career, including the cover of the National Journal of MS care twice. I am an artist who lives with MS and for that I am proud.
