POTS – the invisible disability

When life got overwhelming and I was dealing with what I thought was post covid anxiety, and mental health issues turned into a recent diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Hypermobility Disorder.

Chronic illness means coping mechanisms

I have a nervous tendency to always keep my hands busy. When I was admitted to a partial hospitalization program I had hours of therapy. Group, individual, artistic. I needed my hands to stay busy. I took up origami. I took up crocheting. Eventually I discovered resin art.

My Inspirations

I love to replicate feelings. I am whimsical with my butterfly wings and angel wings and dragon fly wings. I create designs in the texture. I use sparkles. I hand paint on all the details.
