Hi, My name is Eileen, I am a married, mother of two wonderful daughters. I suffer from many ailments both in body and mind. Fibromyalgia being the most debilitating has finally rendered me disabled to work out of the home. I spent additional years trying hard not to accept the fact that my life was altered drastically and would over due things only to suffer longer. Finally I came to accept my conditions for what they were and began the process of living with less to contribute financially, but more capable to contribute through my art. My hubby once gave me a card with a photo of a little girl drawing on the sidewalk with chalk that was inscribe, "Some people were just born to make the world more beautiful." That's what I try to do today with the God Given talent I possess. For me "to create is to breathe" and I couldn't create when the pain was so constant from working. Today I can finally say, "I"m an Artist, a Starving One, but Loving every minute of it."
