I began my painting following a bad stroke in 2010! I never painted on canvas before, and barely ever painted. The stroke left me with a learning, comprehension, and sight deficit. I used painting as therapy to heal through many traumas I faced over the years, including abandonment, divorce, stroke, onset of dementia, and several others. When I sit down to paint, I always ask the Lord to paint through me! Eleven years later, I can read, walk, a fight my battles with the Lord as my strength!
