Gretchen Steele December Artist of the Month

“On Such a Winter Day”

About the Artist

Diagnosed in 1999, the early years of my disease journey were fraught with frequent and especially debilitating relapses. During one of those relapses while receiving occupational therapy at home the therapist remarked how much she enjoyed the many photos adorning the walls.

Thanks to that insight of the therapist, photography has blossomed into much more than just art therapy or a hobby. Since then I have advanced to work professionally as my disease permits as an outdoor and wildlife photographer.

    Your Artwork is beautiful, I myself am an artist as well. I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with RR MS almost 23 years ago.
