Featured in a Disabled Art Newsletter
I am proud and honoured to say this pastel was featured in an article about my art in a New York Disabled Artist Network Newsletter, thanks to my dear friend Sanda Aronson, who started the Disabled Artist Network in 1985. She asked me to share some of my art in August 2011. She dedicated a whole edition to me, for which I was beyond delighted and moved that she would like my work.
This piece is about the continuous head pain I have endured for 30 years and the intensity of the throbbing headache that I repeatedly experience on top. The pain is disabling. The red pastel conveys some of the pain I feel, pain all around, not just inside my head. I just found an old email that described how doing the pastel had given me a worse headache.
I came across it the other day looking through my earlier work. It was all very beautifully laid out. I felt it was a real recognition of me as an artist.
