Parkinson's Myth : Parkinson's Takes Away Not Only Your Ability to Dream But Any Chance of Achieving Them - Ann A.'s Shattering the Myths Photo

I'm the one in the middle with the big smile as it is the opening of my Painting with Parkinson's Exhibition.

 

Around me are my students, all fellow Parkies and all finding the creativity within so that their paintings show luminosity and life. From a group of 12 we had 43 paintings being exhibited and 13 sold at the opening.

 

Painting with Parkinson's helps PLWP to change; they change their level of optimism, they change their attitude to their illness and they change the way they look at life. And for me, I have a renewed zest for life and I am achieving more since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 years ago, than ever before.

 

In June, my book Living and Laughing with Parkinson's will be published. I have illustrated it with over 40 fullpage cartoons.
