Cerar Marta
Painting - Slovenia
It was summer 1997 when I went to the mountains and hiking somewhere half
way I had a stroke. My partner helped to come down to the valley and to the
hospital. My life has suddenly changed completely; I had a lot of rehabilitation
but was retired very soon after my stroke and only at age 31. I had two chil-
dren to care for.
My right arm is only partly working, but soon after the stroke I started to ski,
cycling, swimming and hiking in low hills. I was searching for more activities
to fill in my life and attended a few courses. Painting, however always attracted
me and I am now painting with my left arm, using different painting tech-
8 niques.
I enjoyed it so much that often forget that I am using my left arm. I have been
privileged to exhibit my artwork at the WSO Stroke Exhibition in 2014 and I am
pleased to participate with my new paintings.
