The History Behind My Book
Can brain damage lead to extraordinary art? Some of the most renowned artists in the world were thought to be epileptic, including Michelangelo and Van Gogh. But now we are proving our suspicions through the research of worldwide organizations. Debbie Motsinger is one artist involved in that research. Debbie's crisis gave her the gift of artistic talent. But first she needed to win her battle with spinal meningitis, which led to a seventeen-day coma, which resulted in epilepsy. Relearning to read, write, walk and talk, she also discovered a newfound artistic talent. Today, Debbie's work is displayed on three continents. The Flowers Were Talking to Me is the inspirational story of a woman whose faith and determination overcame very unfavorable odds to not only survive but expand her life to include her creation of beautiful art. While the creative work of most epileptics is stark and foreboding, evocative of an epileptic seizure, you'll find that Debbie's flowers stand in stunning contrastuplifting, light, and inspirational. Debbie credits the support of her friends and family, medical practitioners, and, most of all, her faith in God. She lives in her hometown of Herrin, Illinois. Beautiful samples of her work are included in this book.
