Photography – Portland

I'm thoroughly driven, but most are.. My creation is my conquest. Art started out for me as something you "just DID" coming from a family of very talented individuals, but as time went on my disease has claimed more and more of my abilities, dexterity and strength. Now art has become somewhat of an air to me. Everyday I push myself to create. And everyday I do I can say, "I'm still me. My RA hasn't won yet." To be so challenged and so driven, to some, might seem exhausting: for me its stimulating and never stagnate. Internally I have the very thing that keeps my disease at bay. It's not found in a pill or a syringe... but the very drive within me.
