I joined a cool group for artists with epilepsy



Epilepsy Awareness

I've had petite mals from early childhood and Grand Mal seizures since I was 16, 10 days after my Mother commits suicide. They said they were psychosomatic, {just in my head} lol

I had seizures till I was 26, got pregnant, had baby, had seizures that day, STOPPED having seizures for almost 16 years, 2 weeks short of 16 years, started having them again, very badly!

No one knows why, must have just been in my head! lol

That's been for six or seven years now, in between I lost 260 pounds, rolled my car, broke my neck and had to wear a halo!
Needless to say the head trauma has NOT helped my seizures!

I am no longer able to drive, both fear and not having a seizure for longer then six months prevent me.

I honestly think my seizures have a lot to do with my manic need to be creative.

My first neurologist told me 90% of her seizure patience are creative.

The worse my seizures get the more art I'm doing!

I guess somethings happen for a reason.
I'm just grateful to be alive and able to do my art.

I'm getting some questions about my mediums.

Most of my recent work is done with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils.

I used to use Prismacolor but I didnt like the waxy bloom. I could not layer too much.

Lyra is vegtable based, smooth and creamy, easily blended, easily layered!!

Rembrandt Polycolor is a fine quality colored artist’s pencil for ALL artists.

They offer the widest possible color range, from strong, full tones to the most delicate nuances.

Their brilliance, lightfastness and water-resistance combined with the smoothness of their leads makes them awesome for art.

Rembrandt Polycolor can also be used on synthetic materials, wood and textiles.

I prefer to buy them individually, but you can also buy them in a tin.

Here is a link for individual pencils
