• ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS: In 1990, I was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.  I had been painting with acrylic paints, but  became so sensitized to  art materials that I could soon no longer do artwork at all. Even drawing with writing pencils caused a sensitivity reaction.   By avoiding those chemicals for a long time, I became stronger, and was eventually able to use children’s drawing sticks and school watercolors.  Today, after painstakingly avoiding and replacing sensitizing chemicals, I am able to use Sennelier oil pastels, Rembrandt colored pencils, guache and, most recently, Treehouse walnut oil paints. Work can be slow because I can easily be resensitized, but after years of not being able to paint, I now have immeasurable joy, expressing my ideas in the vibrant media available to me.
