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 Vanessa Willison as June’s Artist of the Month. Vanessa is from Dorchester, NE.

About the Artist – Vanessa Willison

“Photography has always reminded me to be aware that art surrounds us everywhere, during every moment, and life is sublime. Especially in the unexpected details.

Not to sound all pretentious, but I’ve been an artist for most of my life. Jewelry, sculpture, photography, collage. My passion was working with metal, but multiple sclerosis changed that path in life. For the past few years, I’ve been focusing on photography because it works with my daily challenges and provides a creative outlet that is not too physically demanding.”
