Chani Schreibhand, the editor of The Uplift magazine asked if I could paint and write an article about my personal journey with Hashimoto’s disease. Here is a short excerpt from the article that accompanied the the painting above.
“Although already 39 years old at this time, beginning to paint opened up a whole new world for me. Maybe this little butterfly shaped organ called the thyroid that covers one’s voice-box was silencing me. Maybe I needed to release the butterflies that were being held captive. Once I began to paint I haven’t been able to stop. My paintings became my voice. What I couldn’t articulate with words began pouring out of me with paint. There seems to be an endless supply of ideas in my head. Finding the key and opening the doors to our minds is sometimes as simple or truly as difficult as getting the right care.”
Thank you @upliftjewishwomensmagazine for always giving me a voice and supporting the arts of Jewish women everywhere!
