Lake of the Pines author/artist Suzanne Reynolds, attributes a near fatal hit and run accident, a minor stroke and a miraculous healing of Multiple Sclerosis to her artistic talent.

"I was always a great appreciator of fine art instilled in me by my mother. I even tried several times over the years to draw but to no avail."

"Not until I had a minor stroke did my newfound talent emerge. I The stroke stimulated the right side of my brain; the creative side."

"My mission is to evoke a spiritual cord within others through my portraits.  Prayerfully bringing one closer to their creator. I try to express a sense of reprieve and spirituality through the subjects eyes.
