LaVerne Dunn – Raleigh, NC

I was diagnosed with MS 2009. I was sad and picked up a paintbrush for the first time. I am doing well with my treatment and thankful it is as well as it is. I was taken off my meds for two years and was doing great. MRI was great but after one marker test, I am back on meds. Here I go again doing something that helped me through some lonely nights. Not being a professional, I had not shown anyone my paintings until this year. I am getting out of my comfort zone. Even if my paintings are not chosen, I am proud of myself for trying.
