I am a woman who has lived with MS for the last 19 years. Many things have changed over the years and this past year I’ve had to switch to hand controls in order to keep driving, which can be discouraging. I am grateful for the many things I still CAN do, like painting. I get great pleasure from the beauty and the colors found around me, and enjoy putting brush to canvas and interpreting it my way.
