From Tim Brandt to Shaking Arts: The first 10 years of an unexpected journey with Parkinson’s through art

By: Tim Brandt

 

Unpredictable, inspiring, entertaining, realistic, and sometimes emotional are words used to describe author Tim Brandt’s voice. His artwork is like how his mind is now, as a result of the Parkinson's, all over the place. One moment, he may be completing a series of joyful, dancing pieces, and then suddenly begins to create a new, raw, emotionally charged piece. The art within these pages is Brandt’s way of coping with his Parkinson's disease. From Tim Brandt to Shaking Arts tells his story of progressing with the disease while embracing changes and finding a new meaning to the world around you. We are not defined by our illnesses, but by what we do with what we are given. He hopes his words and artwork provides a connection and inspiration to even one person who reads his tale and ingests his art.
