Artist Bio: Tell Us Your StoryMy little brother Jonah was diagnosed with a Craniopharyngioma in May 2021. Since then Jonah has gone through a partial resection, Proton treatment and was diagnosed with Epilepsy in July of 2022, and experienced a stroke in Dec of 2022. Jonah has all of the common health related challenges due to his pituitary insufficiency.
Since his stroke, he has made a wonderful recovery.
I also have many interests. I love crafting, painting, drawing, rainbow loom (Making things from elastic bands), sewing, and I recently started to learn how to crochet small birds, and I'm currently working on a Bunny.
I love playing with my little brother and have supported him along this journey.
