I do hope this will help you believe in miracles. What a "Happy New Year" I am having! After nearly 20 years of being vocally handicapped, I am proud to announce nearly full usage of my voice. I have been under treatment for the past 2 years, using physical therapy, direct injections and medications. The results are startling and my future is hopeful. for those who have never had such problems, let me explain this to you. Your world, your lifestyle and your confidence is shaken to the very foundations when you are viewed as handicapped. Like a Pavlovian experiment gone awry, your persona is viewed in a different class of this great American Society - if you have no voice.

Bio

When I began my ultimate love for this avocation Faux Finishes were only being conceptulaized, faux stainted glass was in it's beginning stages and art (in the rural area I was living) was only accomplished by painting on canvas, usually as landscapes that looked "real" or portraiture for family traditions. While taking art and design at UAB I got hooked, but not in the usual way and I progressed into airbrush art on vans. Then suddenly divorced, with 3 very young children, my passion had to be restrained while I found means to support self and family. My art was used as a sideline "bread and butter" income to do just that - put food on the table.

In the early 80's while making my "living" in sales I developed laryngitis, which worsened and became prolonged due to my job type. I ended up having vocal chord surgery, going through complete vocal rehab. The results were not good.

In 1990 that came to an abrupt halt when I was involved in a head-on car crash, leaving my brain "scrambled" and my body , well, "poached". For several years I did not even recall that I had a gift.

My sister, seeing the stress I was under, came to my rescue and literally making me pick up a paint brush and "at least try". It took a while before even the basics began coming back. However, once they did, the love for the venue just seemed to explode within me and I've only put down the brushes after a 10-12 foot fall from scaffolding (while painting) again left me crippled and again half crazy ;). That last life shattering experience was in 98.

By 2000 I had no voice, , a nearly detached left arm and right leg - but a new determination in life and the knowledge that , being the very stubborn woman I am, made the realization that God had given me something very special and HE definitely thinks we should share our gifts. Today, I am attempting to do just that.
