ART FOR PARKINSON'S
It is my wish that my work be an inspiration to those living with debilitating diseases. It has been ten years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, but I have decided to never let my sickness define me. My first neurologist said, "If you don't use it, you lose it." I took this to heart and remained physically active.
Since 2010, I've painted almost every day to hone my skills in an effort to become a successful artist. I discovered painting is like Tai Chi, movement of arms and hands in a state of meditation; transferring inner feelings through my brush on to canvas. Painting has helped me control stress thus lessening symptoms and tremors. I shall continue painting as long as my disease allows me.
However, my reasoning for painting is not for recognition or totally for profit, but as a way to help fund research in hopes to find a cure.
Enjoy my gallery of landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, and abstract scenes.
