This is done in shades of pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Week. There other shades of this image on my site. This is a moment that I shared with Christ, in prayer. I have suffered from an extensive Spinal Disease that is degenerating my spine. A horrible hysterectomy where the physician cut my bladder, and I have not recovered after 4 agony filled years, and many more health issues as a result of the previous two, especially the latter. I am receiving the Lord’s touch everyday in my recovery and coping with chronic pain. Without Him, I would not be here today to ask for those viewing to help fight diseases, a negligent medical field, and sufferers of breast cancer & their families. I have lost two dear family members in two years because of lack of needed medical attention & no insurance for their needs. Please vote for better health care, donate as much as you can, as often as you can~one time is great if that is all that you can do, the need for money is never-ending in this battle, and volunteer for any program that needs your assistance. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A PERSON
Collen Gleason Has posted a blog on her site about my fan art, how nice is that! I feel so honoured! WOW! You can view it here: http://www.colleengleason.com/wordpress/2008/11/19/gorgessity-2/ She has also recently given her permission for me to be able to sell this image as a print. So it is now available for purchase. I have been reading a series of novels by Colleen Gleason that have captured my imagination and inspired this deviation. So I have created this in her honour for keeping me up untill the wee hours of the morning jacked up on coffee because the novels were too good to put down! Waiting with baited breath for the next installment. I have used the covers of her books as a template and tried to make my own version. I hope you like it. Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth De Lacy is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jane Austen. She kicks butt in the 1800’s. Saving the human race from Vampires and Deamons alike. A Very Captivating character. Here is the Blurb on the first novel “The Rest Falls Away”. “Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the Vampire slayers of the Gardella Familiy, these immortal creatures would have long ago taken over the world. In Every Generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake. But as she moves between the the crush of ballrooms and dangerous moonlit streets, Victoria’s heart is torn between Londons most eligible batchelor , the Marquess of Rockley, and her duty. And when she comes face-to-face with the most powerfull vampire in history (Lilith), Victoria must ultimately make a choice between obligation and love…” I would like to thank FaeStock for her stock images / http://faestock.deviantart.com/art/Point-of-no-return3-59393542 / http://faestock.deviantart.com/art/Bells-Falls30-99192136 Lady-Dementia-Stock for her Back Vintage Texture http://lady-dementia-stock.deviantart.com/art/Black-Vintage-63385111 Frozen Star Ro for her Stock image http://frozenstarro.deviantart.com/art/Background-1-100322285 Thank you all for your wonderful stock images

A t-shirt especially designed for those with invisible disabilities or ill-health, who can find it difficult to be taken seriously because they don’t use a wheelchair or walking stick or have anything visibly ‘wrong’ with them. It is also a funny t-shirt for someone with a more ‘obvious’ or visible disability to wear, just to be subversive!

This was an accident that I almost deleted until one buyer bought it from me and I stayed with it since. Oh well.
Watercolor on Yupo – Please forgive me, the following description is long but it is all necessary to communicate the healing process I have been through. Even editing it on 8/14/09 feels like the culmination of the piece. This painting is dedicated to my dad. I chose the title Overcome because my dad was overcome by chronic back pain and depression. He committed suicide 5 years ago because he could no longer cope with the physical pain and loss of his health. Six years before he ended his life, he injured his back and had a failed back surgery. He had chronic back pain most of his adult life, but this last injury left him devastated physically and emotionally and he was not able to recover. Being a farmer was all my dad ever knew and farmers are very much their own breed. They are fearless in providing for their families, and are some of the most determined and dedicated people I know. They are also the first ones there when a family member or neighbor needs help. Farmers can be also be stubborn and too independent at times. Farming is a solitary life, and the tractor or combine is your office. The hours are long and you rarely lay your head on the pillow feeling your work is finished. They show their love by working late into the night in Spring and at Harvest time. I will always remember the sound of my dad coming home in the tractor late at night in the Fall. I could smell the dryness of leaves dead on the ground, feel the cool of the night through open windows and see the tractor lights as he pulled into the driveway. I loved knowing he was home for the night. To this day I feel warm inside and a bit awed, when I see a tractor or combine in the field late at night. All you can see are the lights on the machinery, shadows on metal and corn dust circling in the air. Even when you can’t see him, you know there is a farmer out there too, and that he would rather be home with his family. As the painting developed I saw a spine and immediately thought of my dad. It did not cause me great pain but healing emotions instead. I needed to tell the story through art and in words. I started painting after his death because I couldn’t use words through speech, writing or journaling. This painting represents the death of my dad, the birth of my art and finding my voice again through art and word. / / I don’t want this painting to communicate grief and pity, I want it say; “Take care of your body. It is the only one you will ever get here on earth. Our bodies are created to accomplish what we are here on this earth to do, but sometimes we don’t take care of them. Our bodies are strong, but turn fragile when not cared for. Ask for help and wait for assistance to arrive, don’t go it alone.” This painting is for you dad – to the best of my ability, I understand. You thought you would not be missed , but you are. You always will be. I love you. As I revisited this description and edited it for the Healing Through Art Banner Challenge, I realized that the painting title no longer just means my dad was “Overcome.” In addition it now also represents that I have “Overcome.” Thanks be to God that “in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” / Romans 8:37-39

I wanted to try and communicate through art what it is like to live with a degenerating spine. I am not doing this for sympathy, but for the people who live as I do and the people that it affects in their world. It is not a pain that can be seen just by looking, as a broken bone is. Some of you know that I suffer from serious back issues. I have 7-8 herniated and/or ruptured discs in my back. To try and SHOW someone what this pain is like is very difficult. Mine has been an approximate 25 year progression. I have had 1 back surgery to relieve pressure off the sciatic nerve from the L5/S1 level. It had become so painful I could not walk without a cane at times. Sometimes the pain would come out of nowhere when I took a step and it was a lightning bolt shooting through me so hard I would fall. I have been in so much pain that I wished for death and if I had been able to walk and find the means I might have taken the out. Thankfully I could not walk = ) / My family has been so amazing in their care and concern for me and my grand children keep me motivated and smiling. I thank them all for their understanding… even if they didn’t really, they tried to. I am blessed to be a huge part of my grand daughter’s lives and it is the most precious gift anyone could ask for. It is difficult at times when René needs to be walked because she is teething or not feeling good. I lose feeling in my thighs at times and the pain in my lower back has been so bad I just cried silently until she was asleep and I could finally set her down. It makes my heart sad when Kolleen wants me to jump on the trampoline or run and play as these are things I must not do. However there are so many more positives with them. I get to be there for them in so many ways and when it’s all too much Sam and/or the kids help out until I am feeling better! So I thank God for all the help I am given, as well as still being able to contribute and feel needed. It has been my lifeline in so many ways.
