History?

I am 61 years old and a mother of two daughters. Following a stroke I have been in rehabilitation at Beit Hayotzer for the last two years. I was born and raised in a family dealing with many problems, as a result I turned to drugs & have been addicted since the age of 19. At the age of 37 I entered drug rehabilitation and was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder. As part of my rehabilitation I studied to accompany drug & alcohol victims at the Western Galilee College and then restorative art at Midreshet Beit Berl. For about 17 years I guided & accompanied drug addicts in their detoxification process. All along painting has always been a central & important part of my life, painting for several years at the Art Institute in Neytanya.
