I am happy to have had the opportunity of having friends that are amazing and lend me there time in such amazing ways! One took there time when I needed it the most and gave up a day a week to come over and give me some art therapy.

I am a 31 yr old tattoo artist or at least I was before this all happened. I just recently found out I may have chronic inflammatory demylinating polyneuropathy. Thanks to the therapy though I have found a new art form I can do that helps release the energy I need to and helps deal with this mind \*\*\*\* that is GBS. Here are some oil pastels I worked on. I hope they speak to you and if there is art you would like for me to do feel free to message me!
