Diane Bustin – Collins, MS

I am age 72 and was diagnosed at age 18. I am self-taught and paint from the heart. Life has always been colorful to me. I grew up in a very colorful family – six children on a farm. There was always music in the house and flowers in the yard. When MS made it hard for me to have my colorful flowers in my yard, I started putting paint on canvases. I enjoy sharing art with children and watching that excitement in their eyes when they finish a painting and they want to share it with someone.
