I came back to visual art after being a contemporary dancer for 18 years. I developed an undiagnosed condition that made it difficult for me to breath and walk for a longer distance. I had to leave my job and I became more homebound. Doctors, tests, more doctors. Since 2018 this has been happening. I recently found the cause in the Spring of 2021. During this entire time I found my way back to visual art. It has been my focus and has literally saved my life. It gave me joy, focus and comfort in times when I have felt so alone and unheard.
