Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 

            I started to color at a young age. As I have gotten older it is now a stress relief for me. I suffer from High Intracranial Pressure and many other health conditions. I have had many brain and back surgeries and coloring helps when I am stuck in bed. Coloring helps overall.

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?

            Start with something simple. Don't over think when choosing color scheme. Start with the middle and work your way out.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

            I also love to draw my own pictures. Especially Zentangles. I also paint on canvas with acrylic and watercolor. Art is my passion.
