Since getting ME/CFS in 2008 my life has changed dramatically. In 2018 I did some art courses with Arts on Prescription and H'arts in Mind for mental health and wellbeing. and we have had sessions in the M.E Support Group. It opened up a whole new world to me and since then have been creating art mostly using alcohol inks. some of these have been sold to raise money for Hertfordshire ME/CFS Support Group and other Charities.
