Before my accident, I had a passion for art. I was pretty good but had a lot to learn. When the accident happened, the results of the injury also paralyzed my hands. All I wanted to do was create art, but I could barely hold a pencil. Through years of practice I have learned new techniques of writing, drawing, and painting!
This semester at NKU, I had to take an oil painting class. It was a new challenge because I was not comfortable with the medium. I learned to mix color`s, blend, and so much more. I have grown to enjoy it! With that being said, I wanted to share with you some of my work. I hope you are impressed!

Wonderful oil paintings and drawings Abby, truly amazing work! I use to have a passion for art as well, but I always found portraits extremely difficult. My comfort zone was landscape paintings similar to the Bob Ross video’s on YouTube, except mine was no where near as breathtaking as his! Anyway, keep up the great artwork!
