In Chisum's words:

Life for me began in a busy little logging town just a bit south of the Oregon border. Life in Hornbrook has slowed down since my youth, although I shall never forget the values I learned there.

Life is a wondrous adventure. One can whine about their misfortunes, or learn from them and advance with a clearer vision of self worth. I chose the latter.

Through my painting, I am able to flit through the trees and flowers, unencumbered by my physical being. I can advance with the wide-eyed surprise of innocence first glimpse at all the wonders under the sun pierced canopy.

I initially thought of painting as a way to divert my pain to a more acceptable plateau. My health is not so great, as I would wish it.

I painted sporadically. As my pain increased, I definitely needed a viable outlet, so I attempted what I thought to be impossible. I began to paint, but with a vengeance. I have been painting with enthusiasm and perseverance for thirteen years.

I have met some fine artists along the way, truly great talent. As I began to be more involved in painting, I found the diversion from pain was most acceptable. It was surprising to find that with a little encouragement and a lot of effort, I could paint. I enjoyed what I was doing and my pain was more at bay; there, but not the controller of my life it had been for ever so long.

I have studied with many noted artists, some were Russian Masters. I have been blessed with some truly great friends through these connective excursions in time and space . . . Painting.

For those of you who deal with chronic pain, I say, find an outlet. For me, painting has re-channeled the current of pain as well as given a tangible record of my time.

I do most of my painting in the wee hours of the morning, when pain is overwhelming and sleep eludes me. I envision painting as a free spirited fairy; flitting adventurously through the mist, sprinkling time and space with joys of wonder.

Take a chance, what have you got to lose? Life is like a carousel; the brass ring is within your reach, if you have but the courage to seek it out! Find yourself a diversion. Leave an imprint on time . . .
