Hi everyone!
We would love to hear from other artists that paint by mouth or foot. My hubby is a c4/c5 quadriplegic and paints by mouth.Hes inspired by nature and wildlife as we live in South Africa and are surrounded by game reserves in our region of Kwazulu Natal/Elephant Coast and Hluhluwe Game Reserve.He is a c4/c5 quadriplegic.

Janine,

You mentioned a glove your husband used to do his artwork with I believe a stick. My son in law Jon is a video artist and has the same injury c4/c5 that your husband has. Jon and I have been trying to design a glove that would stiffen his wrist and allow him to move, push and pull, his hand with his shoulder to draw. A pen would be attached to the glove using velcro. I've attached a preliminary drawing of what the glove might look like. I saw your comment about your husband using a glove and wondered if you might have alreay developed what we've been working on. I've attached a pdf of what our idea on a glove might look like. Any help out from anyone out there would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

LeRoy

Now that is amazing !
