Stella has muscular dystrophy but not only does she manage her everyday life she has become a successful professional artist.  Studio time may be limited to short sessions but that does not mean her paintings suffer it only means that Stella is very focused while in the studio and does not let the MD interfere with the creative process.  The studio is set-up to be easy to access and use - a must when you are in a wheelchair.  

Lesley Taylor commented - I work with Stella, helping with the website and with packaging her prints, and Stella's determined attitude and "get on with it" nature can make me forget that she is in a wheelchair. Please look at her website http://artygems.com/home.html to understand the quality of her work.

“Abstract to literal, contemporary to traditional, exclusive limited edition greeting cards and individualised designs for your business. The cards are of the highest quality. Each Christmas new editions are introduced. 100% of the proceeds from sales will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.”

Recent quote from one of Stella’s clients..........

“One of my regular customers has also started her own website and card selling business. Have a look at www.artygems.com to see her beautiful artwork. At Christmas Stella printed cards of the City Hall with the market stalls in front of it - they were beautiful and my family were delighted with their own work of art. Her gallery includes various views of Scotland. Please do look at her website.”
