I have been doing art for as long as I can remember and lately my style and thoughts behind my work are changing. I am a disabled Marine veteran with PTSD and my artwork is my way of escaping and dealing with pain and stress. I am once again going through a change of style and even a change in the media I normally work in. I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy over a year ago and since then it has progressively worsened. At first I thought it might be carpal tunnel syndrome from crocheting. I find it extremely difficult and painful some days to hold onto a pencil or brush and even to hold onto a camera without shaking. On my better days I can at least hold a camera still long enough to snap a photo so now most of my work will be photographic. I have no idea what direction my art will take me but I will continue to find a way to keep at it.
