I've also been active at Art Education 2.0... an online network for art educators. We're in the process of having a new bath installed in our house which was built in 1903. Did I tell you I'm a registered art therapist and used to work at http://www.bancroftneurohealth.org/ and http://www.cchsc.com/...?
Five years ago, I was diagnosed with MS http://www.nationalmssociety.org/about-multiple-sclerosis/index.aspx
Life is interesting that way. I have been fortunate in that I have a career I enjoy ... and a medication that seems to be keeping my disease at bay for the most part.
This time last summer, my husband and I were touring around Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona. This summer, we're listening to hammers and saws. Western Minnesota sounds lovely! I hope you are having a wonderful time.

Your art on so many levels inspires me and I just love it that your Art Continuum Show was such a success. As an artist myself and Touch Drawing facilitator for many years in Ohio, I can only imagine how much this process can help you to deal with the Parkinson's. My son has Tourettes Syndrome (another neurological 'challenge!) and he has created many Touch Drawings over the years in my 7 Arts Studio, many of which he has enhanced into paintings.

I wish you the very best in your life's journey and commend you for your courage and the use of your beautiful talents.

Your painting of "Keep Smiling" now sits on my Meditation Altar. I hope you don't mind -- you simply inspire me so!

Blessing,
Noreen

At 4:24pm on February 27, 2009, Irvin knowlen said…: Thanks Kathleen. I started to fill out all the necessary forms to list the event and decided you would be the most appropriate one to do this. Besides, I hate filling out forms. Thanks again for everything.

At 12:46pm on February 27, 2009, Kathleen Horne said…: Hi Irv
I listed the event, and added a photo of one of your TD's. I was going to use the postcard but i don't seem to have a digital image of it.
A TD is most appropriate, anyway, for here, i think....
