Now I want to introduce Kathy Thompson and her guest blog
I thought I would share a short guest blog with you all from my good friend Kathy Thompson dyslexic artist / thinker. She got involved with Dyslexia Pathways CIC Unique Dyslexic campaign in 2014. She sadly passed away age 56 a couple years ago.
Take it away Kathy
Three or four years ago I started painting for the first time , I am 56 years old. At the time I was going thru a lot of anxiety and questioning everything about my own self.
Never knew there was a creative side to me. I was looking around the internet and facebook trying to find a group or just anything I could identify with when I came across "Unique Dyslexic Get Creative".
My interest immediately peeked, being blown away by tapping in to my own creativity for the first time and having a brother and daughter who are dyslexics.
I began to share my art with the group, it took a lot of courage to do that, thru the acceptance and encouragement I gained there , I now have the courage to keep pursuing my art passion , and the confidence to share publicly.
I have sold five paintings and given away around eleven, been invited as an art vendor to local events.Most recently I posted a few on facebook for sale. I doubt I would have the courage to post publicly had I not found the "Unique Dyslexic Get Creative " group.
I suspect i am dyslexic. But atypical or compensated , i think i am a good reader , my writing is not legible. As for reading. I read a lot but don't retain a lot. Just bits and pieces. |
