This is my latest painting in my people with scars series and what they have been through. This is the regal and beautiful model Carole Thorpe-Gunner. Here is Carole’s story in her own words
“Positivity of Spirit,
Pacing & patience of Lifestyle plus a steady pursuit of all things Creative, help me go forward with my Dystonic condition.
I am a teacher & an artist.
I have Dystonia, a Neurological condition which affect my movement & sometimes, speech. I have a Brain Pacemaker which helps my brain mask the “wrong” electrical messages which Dystonia creates.
Like Art & Life, it is a work in progress.
Carol Thorpe-Gunner.” https://www.dystonia.org.uk/what-is-dystonia link to information about dystonia
