Going back to one of my first loves, painting, was cathartic and therapeutic. It's a great way to express myself through colour and to bring natural visual inspiration back into my life. Painting, as a form of expression, has contributed to my Masters' thesis and helped me to deal the environmental issues I experience with regard to my disability. I have asthma, mcs, & environmental illness so I use acrylics, as oil are too caustic, and I react to them.
UPDATE: My first novel "Going Home", the first book in the Alien Encounters Series is free in the Amazon kindle store today and Remembrance day, in honour of my father-in-law.

So nice of you to take the time to read my bio................... happy etsying…..
