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 Nancy Garcia as June’s Artist of the Month. Nancy is from Chicago Heights, IL.

“Laundry Day”

About the Artist – Nancy Garcia

“I was diagnosed with MS over 30 years ago and had symptoms several years before that. In the last few years, I had to quit work and have found a refuge in art. Most of my pieces are in watercolor or ink. Painting and drawing have become a meditation and a place where my imagination can soar. I find most of my inspiration in nature and simple things: laundry on the line, a lovingly prepared cup of tea–things that those of us with MS know all too well should not be taken for granted.”
