I didn't have any artistic talents before my TBI... but I as part of my rehab survival I did develop a creative outlet which has saved what was left of my sanity :)

I didn't consider myself artistic before my TBI and I don't consider myself an artist now, but I have developed a skill set (and a business) in photography - my specialism is the performing arts. My website is janehobson.com if anyone fancies a squiz.

Oh and, like iforget, it saved what's left of my sanity! (I was made redundant from my previous job and unable to get another whilst still need a graduated return and loads of healing, I took myself back to college to do a photography degree as occupational rehab - the 'rehab' on offer from the local council was a joke).

Well, I have an ABI, to be exact. Pre ABI, I was known for being artistic and even after ABI I am still artistic, despite the fact that I have a slight right-sided paralisys and my handwriting is crap. I am so glad that I am still able to draw and with a little help I get, my art is so much better than what it once was :).
