Background

About Mary Eigel

I have been an artist/educator in the St. Louis area for many years teaching at the high school, college and adult-education levels. Currently, I teach part-time at St. Louis Community College-Meramec in the Design, Visual and Performing Arts Department. I have recently added "writer" to my resume as I have published my chronic pain recovery memoir, Silent Courage, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Nook and other e-readers: http://amzn.to/QZaPlv Having endured a chronic pain journey from hip dysplasia since childhood, I have an insider’s grasp of its complexities and challenges. While hip replacement surgeries have allowed me to be in a better place for many years, I am acutely aware of the gaps that exist between those who experience pain and those who treat pain–and I want to help bridge them together. My life experiences have guided me to now become a Chronic Pain Management advocate. I have designed creative workshops, classes, and a variety of events on these topics.
