MSAA features the work of many talented artists affected by multiple sclerosis as part of our annual MSAA Art Showcase. Each month we share these artists’ inspiring stories and beautiful artwork with you as our Artist of the Month. This month, we celebrate Eileen Dillon as May’s Artist of the Month. Eileen is from Castle Rock, CO

“Our First Date”

About the Artist – Eileen Dillon

“I liked to draw and paint most of my life but never had professional training. When I was diagnosed with MS years ago, it affected my whole life. One birthday, I received a sketchbook and colored pencils from my son. He encouraged me to draw and eventually paint. It’s been quite a journey of struggle in learning how to express myself. It has been an emotional healing process. I hope my unique perspective on what I see and imagine will bless and encourage many others.”
