Lia Dahlquist

Woman who loves adventures & knowledge. With 4 children & 3 grandchildren today I'm a content, grateful mother, grandma, former nurse & travel consultant. I have been a sick pensioner for over 20 years now, with several diagnosis: Fibromyalgia, CRPS, Chronicle pain, EDS & I'm rheumatic as well. I've learn to live with everything that isn't like before. But I gained so much from the art community - wonderful people. I have my studio, where I either continue with a project in Mixed Media or trying to learn more from everyone on Youtube, who makes Junk Journals, I'm learning something new almost everyday. Working with just paper has shown to be more difficult for me at today, which I haven't had a problem with before. But I'm older & my diagnosis can make it more difficult today than when I was young, traveled around the world, lived in other countries, educated me twice, I didn't want to give up working, so I had to work with something easier. It only took 3 years in "adult" school, & working a year, when my dr said that my body needed to rest. I don't work at all today, because of several issues. So the studio & my garden is serenity for me. My life has just taken a detour & I'm trying to make the best with what I can as long as I can.
