• ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS: In 1990, I was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.  At that time I had been painting with acrylic paints, and I became so sensitized to those and other  art materials that for years I could do no artwork at all. Even drawing with writing pencils caused a sensitivity reaction.   Over time I became stronger, and was eventually able to use children’s drawing sticks and school watercolors.  Today, after painstaking avoidance of sensitizing chemicals, I am able to create pictures using Sennelier oil pastels, Rembrandt colored pencils, guache and, most recently, Treehouse walnut oil paints. There have been few art shows and work is slow because I can easily be resensitized, but I am emerging from that long dry spell.  Now I have immeasurable joy in being able to do artwork again, expressing my ideas in the vibrant media available to me.
