She was born with a rare-genetic disorder called Familial Dysautonomia or FD, but that hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her dreams.

According to her website, she’s been showing her art in juried exhibitions since age 13.

Her ReelArt exhibit runs Feb. 13 – April 17 at The Center For Art and Photography at Celebration Company, located at 4131 S. Braeswood Blvd.
