The Art For Arachnoiditis Project Website for Survivors
Here to support and empower Arachnoiditis Survivors during Rehabilitation and Recovery. Sheila helped them tell this story, display original healing art by Arachnoiditis Survivors, encouraged healing through assorted art activities or creative practices used in ancient and modern art therapy applications, provided methods for arachnoiditis survivors to document survival and adaptation through the arts, established a venue to publicize arachnoiditis awareness/prevention events using original art by Arachnoiditis Survivors, and supplied credible links to resources for survivors. Sheila's public and private Patrons make it possible for the content on the website for survivors to remain live and free to the public.

This is a link to my blog. Where I write words about the words and more words about the things I am into, learning about, or remembering. It had words before my PatreonPage had my words. Now my words are in both places.
It contains studio stories, special offers, my art and local event news, current projects, and bloggy dialogue about my creative discoveries and wellness projects.Tree Project update 2017-2025
