I , Nadine Hughes, was born in Pictou County and make it my home today. ​An IT SAP specialist by trade, in Aug of 2010 everything changed. I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm and a new me was born. As part of my rehabilitation I started painting and in 2012 I sold my first painting. ​ Painting and crafting with things i find on the beach gives me a purpose, something to accomplish. I sell and donate creations so I can paint and craft again. I price my creations to cover the cost and it enables me to have enough money to continue. ​ i have also written a few diff types of books and publlished them myself .. i am hoping BLURB can help me do a second printing of some of my books. ​
