Laura Patchen – Pittsford, NY

As a woman who has lived with MS for over 20 years, I’ve gone from owning my own business to being unable to work. I started painting about 8 years ago at our local recreation center. I found it made me feel like I was producing something worthwhile, which helped me deal with some of the losses associated with MS. The social aspect of getting together with others to paint is important to me, too. I hope my paintings bring enjoyment to others, but really, I do it for myself, and I’m proud of my growth and accomplishments in painting.
