I am an artist and entrepreneur. I worked in finance, and became disabled with multiple chronic conditions, including Ehlers-Danlos, Eagles Syndrome, IIH, and the list goes on. These conditions are very rare, and I find myself traveling all over the country for treatments. There are very few medical professionals that understand these conditions, much less treat them, so I have been told by many there is only so much that can be done. I now know what life I do have... I am going to live it my way and enjoy the hell out of it. I believe a disability can either break you or make you stronger. I have chosen the latter. I currently not only paint, but I own Deanna Designs and Art, an online shopping experience through Shopify. You can find this @ Deanasdesignsandart.net. It is a curated selection of exceptional art by emerging talent(that is me) and offers quality products. I strive to have one-of-a-kind artwork, it is after all my passion and soul on a canvas. I also have three functioning stores on Zazzle at the moment. They all offer artwork, home decor items, and more. The main profile for my Zazzle business is https://www.zazzle.com/store/deannas_designs. I am also a blogger for the Kennedale News now as well! I have worked in many industries, but I find now that I am in the most difficult part of my life medically, and doing the most fulfilling profession I have ever done. For me, I will put it in the words of Leonardo Da Vinci -“A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art does not." -Deanna Caroon
