MSAA’s Artist of the Month for December 2012

Posted on December 3, 2012 by MSAA

MSAA is very proud to present our 2012 Art Showcase – celebrating the work of artists affected by MS.

December Artist of the Month:

Angela Bennett – Lexington, KY

“I take nothing for granted, and I live each day to its fullest potential. I have RRMS but my MS is very aggressive, and I became disabled in 2009. Since becoming disabled, I have grown in ways I never once thought possible. I have become a beacon of light, caring and volunteering for others when I can, and my empathy and compassion is stronger than it’s ever been.

This acrylic painting on canvas, titled ‘Aneia’, represents my souls awakening and expansion to the person that I am today.”

Presenting MSAA’s Artist of the Month for October 2012

MSAA is very proud to present our 2012 Art Showcase – celebrating the work of artists affected by MS.

October Artist of the Month:

Thomas Geier – Boulder, CO

“This painting depicts the Crystal Mill perched precariously above the Crystal River just outside of Marble, CO. It’s original function, as a part of the nearby Crystal Mine operation, has long been lost. It has, however – through changes unforeseen – gained a greater purpose as an iconic symbol of Colorado’s historic mining past. It has become one of the most recognized and photographed symbols of mining ingenuity in the state of Colorado.

So it is with my contest with MS. As I have been forced to alter my physical expectations of my natural aging process, I have been blessed with the positive side of change as I grow as an artist. I hope you find inspiration in this unique structure, still anchored on solid rock.”

MSAA is very proud to present our 2012 Art Showcase – celebrating the work of artists affected by MS.

September Artist of the Month:

Sheanean Chorette – Beggs, OK

“I was diagnosed a year ago with MS by doctor number 26. I knew something was wrong and it wasn’t just ‘in my head.’ I am strong and determined. My favorite word is ‘HOPE.’ I am a 42 year old wife and mother of 3. I have one grandson.

My love for art reaches back into my childhood. I was a doodler, always doodling on my papers at school. I am self-taught and have improved over time with practice and patience with myself. I teach an art class to 4th graders once a week at our local elementary. I have a passion for nature and art and often merge the two.”

August Artist of the Month:

Margie Kapaczewski – Philadelphia, PA

“ Change in life is inevitable. However, we create time stamps along the way…painting is my time stamp. It is the moment that I become intentionally lost in my thoughts and inspiration. I create my vision and stamp it onto a canvas, a paper, or a piece of material to keep forever.

With MS, memory is a gift…without MS, memory is still a gift. Art is my visual memory where I can reflect on a time with fondness or be triumphant as I was strong enough to make it through.”
