C5/C6 Quadriplegic Artist: Beyond the Brush
Explore a unique artistic journey! Discover how a C5/C6 quadriplegic artist uses innovative techniques to create art, overcoming limitations with passion and creativity.
Many people are curious about my artistic process, often assuming I use mouthsticks due to common misconceptions about quadriplegia. It's a natural assumption, considering the inspiring stories of mouth-painting artists.
However, as a C5/C6 quadriplegic, I've developed unique techniques that utilize the remaining mobility in my upper body, specifically my slight wrist extension. This allows me to achieve a passive whole-hand grip, perfect for holding a paintbrush lightly.
I've customized my brushes with foam tape wrapped around the handle to enhance this grip and create a sense of finger movement. This innovative approach allows me to create art in a comfortable and effective way.
