JOELY CORBAN is an artist that has lived with a traumatic brain injury since 1988. Her TBI happened when she was a passenger in a car returning home for Thanksgiving break her first semester in college. The accident affected her ability to read and write for over a decade.Her hard work in rehabilitation finally paid off! She completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2017. The title of her MFA thesis was Art of Recovery: Artists Living with Brain Injury. Joely is currently a college-level art instructor. She paints both digitally and with traditional materials.Joely met Anthony Knopps through a dean at a university where they both teach. When Anthony asked her to illustrate "My Daddy has a Headache," her immediate gut feeling was that this book can help more than just the reader! She said yes, and she would illustrate the book for free as long as all proceeds from the book would have to go to benefit fellow brain injury survivors. Anthony was on board with the same idea! Can you believe that two TBIs think alike!? What a team! To see more of her work, please visit www.MsCorban.com. See less
