It all began for Justine Martin when she was living in Perth and became very ill. After 6 months of tests she was diagnosed with Remitting Relapsing MS in March 2011 and unfortunately had to stop work because of her disabilities.
Justine has some cognitive issues which include short term memory loss and can no longer count properly or multi task. Occasionally at times she has to use a walking stick or wheel chair. When her world crashed over 6 years ago she was forced to spend most of her days alone, not leaving the house or seeing anyone.
Wondering how she was going to fulfil the rest of her life. Her Neurologist suggested she pick a hobby. Justine Martin had always wanted to learn to paint but never found the time with raising a family and a career. Now all she had was time.
When she finally walked through the door of that first art studio her whole world just changed. Justine felt like she could express herself without even talking. Her friends and family were giving her wonderful encouragement.
Justine Martin was keen to find somewhere to learn more about art and meet like-minded people. She was like a sponge, wanting and needing to find out as much as she could about painting and drawing.
