I feel priviledged to be part of this and have answered my first "Guest Blogger Question" today.
What Made You Become An Artist
I have always had a keen interest in art but never really pursued it as a hobby. One day a friend of mine, also a ME sufferer invited me to paint with her. As much as I love painting I find this a drain on my limited energy and I am unable to paint very often. I picked up a camera and discovered the world through a lens, this has now become my way of escaping the daily struggles of living with the illness ME. I am amazed on a daily basis at the myriad photographic opportunities I can find within the confines of my little corner of the world.

Brilliant photo. Which gremlin has the luscious lips?!
Hey Auntie Kaz, I could telll you that those luscious lips were mine but you would know I was lying. The bluberry was mine and the lips belong to gremlin number one Gemma
I loved reading why you became an artist. I got into photography when I first got sick and couldn't leave the house, and it never occurred to me that a few years later it would be my job. Silver linings and all that :)
