Art and Health CV
I pursued a number of careers until 1990 when I was forced to give up my work by the onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This enabled me to take up my passion, art. My purpose is for my work to be a touchstone for others, and my interests lie in the therapeutic aspects gained by art.
