January 2021 Artist of the Month

[CalfeeChick]

Jessica V.

I was an art teacher for 12 years before I was diagnosed with MS in 2018. I have always expressed myself through art, doing many self-portraits and figure drawings and paintings over the years. I love working with oil paints, pastels, and more recently getting into collage work. Even though my MS symptoms include numbness in my hands, I work when I can and try not to let the diagnosis stop me from doing what that I love. Art is a form of therapy for me, and it will always be a part of my life, even with MS.

Thanks so much for sharing your personal experience with MS. I am glad to see that you are still being inspired even with your condition. I was also diagnosed in 2018 and I have had quite an adjustment. It's refreshing to see other like minded individuals that can truly understand what it's like to live through this condition. I wish you much success in your endeavors.....
