Beyond My Wheelchair: His paintings gave him a voice and a way to interact with the world.

emotions...

Painting is my passion.  Just the actual act of painting gives me freedom that I cannot get in any other way.  Part of the joy comes from the motion of putting color on canvas and the rest of the joy comes from creating something from my mind and soul that is uniquely me.  I love the very act of painting.  I also love the fact that I can now freely express my emotions and thoughts and give them to the world.  Simply, painting completes me.
