Hello, my name is Coreen Arioto. I am a daughter, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a new grandmother, a friend, a cousin, a Registered Nurse, a Family Nurse Practitioner, an author, and an artist.

In 2019, a catastrophic stroke rocked my world. My life as I knew it was forever changed.

I started drawing and painting as a therapeutic outlet. I had ignored my creative side for a long time during my medical career. I had spent most of my professional time working with children, so writing children’s books was not too far out of my wheelhouse.
