I am single mother of a child with special needs, and I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to a car accident in 2018. Before my TBI, pen & ink were my favorite. After my TBI, I had to relearn how to create with other mediums. Pen and ink are still my favorite but not as easy to do anymore. I have learned how to create with colored pencils, acrylic paint, signs, and sculptures. My sculptures and signs are made using household items and as much recycled materials as I can get my hands on. My goal for each sculpture is to be fun, bring joy, and uniqueness. I continue to learn new and creative avenues for art. With hope that not only will it bring happiness but that it will show my daughter that no matter the challenges life brings you, you can still do what you love.
