"Flare Up" on the cover of Practical Neurology

I’m so honored to have my art on the cover of Practical Neurology magazine.

I was contacted by the publisher about a week and a half ago who asked me if they could use my art for their magazine. She said she was looking online for an artist with MS and she found my art and thought it was beautiful. Again, thank you Practical Neurology.
