Social & Political Artist Presenting Issues about Physical Disability through Thematic Installations and Objects.
“Becoming physically disabled has defined my voice as an artist. This transition has provided me with insight into how the non-disabled view the disabled. I create art experiences to share this insight and give people opportunities to gain understanding about physical disability. My work explores the personal, social, environmental, and political issues surrounding physical disability. I address these attitudes and assumptions because they underpin American society and cause inequality.”
