As an artist working from a wheelchair, I rely on my studio assistant, friends, family, and a quartet of various tools to help me overcome my mobility restrictions.

To atone for my lack of hand function and my desire to still use spray paint, I developed this device for my canvas and outdoor mural work. I can use it independently for smaller applications but it functions best with two people in a collaborative method.

Over the past thirty years the concept of what determines a disability has greatly shifted from the previous medical model to that of a social one. The previous approach focused primarily on the physical and sensory impairments of the individual. While in contrast the current social model recognizes the cognitive and mental health issues that prevent an individual's full participation in society.
