Nancy Garcia – Chicago Heights, IL

I was diagnosed with MS over 30 years ago and had symptoms several years before that. In the last few years, I had to quit work and have found a refuge in art. Most of my pieces are in watercolor or ink. Painting and drawing have become a meditation and a place where my imagination can soar. I find most of my inspiration in nature and simple things: laundry on the line, a lovingly prepared cup of tea–things that those of us with MS know all too well should not be taken for granted.
