I have always been creative throughout my life. I have used it as a tool to help me cope with having kidney failure as a child resulting in 13 years of dialysis, 50 plus surgeries and now living with my 4th kidney transplant. I started painting in 2016 and have become obsessed with learning the craft. I love to learn about all types of mediums, take classes and apply my intuition and how I feel to the canvas in front of me. I am and author of a book called Chronically Happy and founded and run a non profit to help my peers called Renal Support Network. www.Rsnhope.org.
