Performers/Artists with SCI/D




Leah

Tiny and Snail

Hi! We are Grace and Leah, sisters who both love creating illustrations that bring joy into this world. Leah is paralyzed from the armpits down and her right leg is amputated. One of the first questions she asked in the ICU when she could communicate was “Can I still draw?” Miraculously, yes. Tiny can still draw and paint. This company of ours has become more important to us than ever as its growth will mean that Leah can sustain herself as a full-time artist.

My mission is to change the way we relate to adversity in order to harness it as a catalyst for transformation. So we can become, each of us, our own Shero. To move beyond getting back to good, so we can be instead really great. To become bigger, braver and bolder than we’ve been before.

Mariam Paré
Mariam Paré

My name is Mariam Fatima Paré, I am a visual artist and mouth-painter. My artistic interests are constantly morphing as I like to experiment with both painting and other modern mixed media. In addition to painting by mouth, I also make video, digital, and installation art based on facets of the disability experience. I often collaborate with other artists in the disability community on projects aimed at making positive social change.


Richard Bell
Richard Bell

There is much more to Richard Bell than his spinal cord injury which he suffered as a result of the motor vehicle accident in 2002. Although this tragic event left him a quadriplegic, it also resulted in him being an accomplished artist. His transformation from Charcoal to paint was encouraged by his late and great uncle, Raymond Howell.
