"She brings a keen painter's eye to bear. . . . The result is often striking: how the subject exists as well as looks."-James Salter "Whether focused on a landscape or the human features, the result is an enchantment."-George Plimpton Beautiful and inspiring portraits create a new image and identity for disability, showing grace, beauty, strength, and resolve. In portraiture, as in most human interactions, the head-indeed the eyes-are the first thing noticed. But confronted by a person in a wheelchair, the viewer's focus shifts to the chair. This work challenges any assumption of difference, illuminating Christopher Reeve's protest after his accident-"I am still me "-and emphasizing that able-bodied or disabled, humanity is innate to us all. The book accompanies a traveling exhibition of the paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
