"art-inspired, even though I have scleroderma."
  I have had scleroderma for ten years or more, and am just now able to get back into painting portraits.  I stopped for a while, depressed because of my illness.

I recently did this picture of my dad, who died 3 years ago.  I presented it to my mom this March on her birthday.  When she unwrapped it, she cried. 

Here is one I did of Mark McGwire, the (now retired) ball player from St.Louis.

I feel so in touch. This is a wonderful new thing for me, as I have been unable or unwilling to draw for awhile.  Now, every time I do, I thank God so much. Being able to share, also, is a wonderful thing.
