I paint for therapy and to keep my mind off of my disabilities. I usually paint flat on my back. Technology has allowed me to get back to my artsy self, despite severe disabilities. I use an iPad (my iPad 2 is on order!) and stylus most of the time. There are several wonderful apps that really do justice to the painting and drawing experience. My current favorite is ArtRage. As far as the stylus goes, I use BoxWave and also the Nomad Brush. Though most of my current paintings are technically 'digital', they are absolutely hand done, and I mix my own colors and do all of the blending and layering of colors and textures by hand, just as I would with normal paints. The wonderful part is NO MESS to deal with, and no set up to fuss over.

I will be selling a variety of limited edition signed prints and canvasses in local shops here in the Shenandoah Valley, as well as online. If you are interested in one, just let me know, whether it is something from my previous work or something you would like me to paint specifically for you.

I will also be donating a portion of my overall proceeds to Canine Partners For Life and The National Dysautonomia Research Foundation. To learn more about me, why I paint, and Dysautonomia, please visit my blog. I will be adding more of my original paintings and photographs available for sale in many formats, so please keep checking back!
