Man Suddenly A Talented Artist After Stroke

August 15, 2018


The Bottom Line:  He  used to not even be able to draw simple shapes, but now Wayne Sheppard  is making hundreds off of his original artwork after waking up from a  stroke with the talent.

The Full Story:

  • Wayne Sheppard woke up from a stroke suddenly a very talented artist
  • Before the stroke, he couldn't even draw simple shapes
  • Some of his pieces sell for hundreds of dollars

One Londoner went from scribbles to Picasso after waking up in the hospital from a stroke. Wayne Sheppard says he couldn’t even draw basic shapes before the event – now he’s selling canvas after canvas of original artwork!

According to experts, strokes can  cause brain damage that can actually have a positive effect on someone’s  creativity, but usually, it's not as dramatic as Sheppard’s case. “I  remember waking up in the hospital the next morning with this sudden  urge to draw,” Sheppard recalls. “For the first three days out of  hospital, I just started sketching non-stop. I was never able to draw  before.” 

But now? People from around the world  are shelling out hundreds of dollars for his pieces. Sheppard says his  newfound hobby is helping him cope with his health problems, including  being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.  Wanna see? CLICK HERE
