Danville area resident Connie Pettey started coloring about two and a half years ago as a stress reliever after having a stroke. Connie says she found coloring to be very relaxing and helpful.

Connie has received many honors in online coloring competitions and has made the Top 10 many times on several coloring websites.

Connie has also had her coloring placed at the top of the banner for a website. This is a very special honor to receive on these coloring websites.

Connie recommends coloring for others who have had strokes or other health issues or just for the pure enjoyment of coloring.
