Overview
As a person who has disabilities, and was told that I would never be able to paint, or draw, I proved them all wrong. I am offering talks on my story about having a disability and the struggles I had to over come and the obstacles, that I concurred to become who I am today. I want people with disabilities to be inspired and not give up on their dreams and goals in life.

About
My doctor's told my parents that I would never be able to draw or paint or do anything like that, do to my poor fine motor skills. I proved them wrong! Through my school years, I was put into special education classes. At age 3 I started having an interest in Art. I would draw and paint and it was very relaxing and therapeutic to my well-being. At age 12 I also began taking pictures and found new avenue for my art as an inspiring photographer. Recently, I attended the 6th Annual Health and Well-being conference, in Richmond,BC, where I was able to show my art of photography, and sold many photos and 3 paintings that I painted.
At age 20, did the cover page and art work for a book called "Success Stories From the front line. Please see the links below of some of my publications and different activities that I was involved in.
Influences & Inspiration
An article was recently written about me through an organization called Abilities Expo, written by Julienne Dallara. Here is the link to the article.

I did the cover and the artwork for a book called "Success Stories From The Frontline" by Robin Friedlander and Tina Donnelly.
The University of British Columbia, school of Social Work/Citizen Network, used my art as a logo for their website.
