Self Portrait: A Girl Freed from MS

About the Artist: Elizabeth Rash – Winter Park, FL

“While MS took away things I valued, a beloved career as a nurse practitioner and long-distance running, it gifted me the time to hone my sense of empathy and patience and the time to return to a childhood hobby. When I paint, I escape into a world without MS.”
