I am an artist and the mother of an adult daughter with special needs who is also an artist. My daughter Lisbeth suffered a traumatic brain injury when she contracted a viral illness in 1988, and she continues to be challenged by multiple difficulties including uncontrolled seizures and developmental delay. Despite these challenges, Lisbeth's mighty spirit and creativity are remarkably intact.

I have opened this Etsy Shop to sell items that highlight Lisbeth's intricate and wondrous snowflake/mandalas. Lisbeth cuts the paper designs, and I work to turn them into all the wonderful items found in this shop! Purchasing items from Brainstorm Studio supports Lisbeth's spiritual and emotional growth, as well as helping her to achieve the important goal of independence. Also, a percentage of Brainstorm Studio sales goes to support The Epilepsy Foundation. Many Blessings!
