For seven years I suffered from an illness that took away my ability to be up for extended amounts of time. As a dance instructor this was devastating for me as dance was my outlet. In trying to find another creative outlet that I could do lying down if neccessary, I discovered art. Particularly graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil. My health is much better now and I have gained a new skill. So maybe that illness was a blessing in disguise.
