Visual Art – Indianapolis

Art is my therapy. It has been an amazing outlet for me and has changed my life. I\'ve always enjoyed art but never really did much with it. A few years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I was having 2-3 seizures every month. I ended up anxious and depressed. Then, about a year ago, I started painting on a regular basis. I even started teaching painting classes! I was then making money doing something I LOVE and relieving the stress of the seizures at the same time! Which, in turn, caused the seizures to stop. I have been seizure free for over 15 months! Art has changed my life. It has been an amazing journey so far...and I\'m excited to see where it\'s taking me.
