I have been an art teacher in several schools as well as working with aged care. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\nI developed Parkinson\'s so set up a support network called Painting with Parkinsons as it has been shown that art relaxes the central nervous system and makes people with Parkinson\'s feel better. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\nI mainly use pastels as I love the soft blending and I will draw pretty well anything. I take photos of whatever takes my eye and all my work comes from my photos. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\nI have had lessons from several professional artists but Elly Abrat was the best and she gave me confidence as well as knowledge. |
