Photo taken on Capitol Hill where I won the Rare Artist Award for Rare Disease Week by the Everylife Foundation on February 27 2019
An unforgettable experience and the first time my art was really recognized like that! Truly an amazing moment for me.
[ID: a photo of me dressed of quite fancy and sitting in my power wheelchair with my forearm crutches attached in a bag behind me (they are decorated with purple zebra duck tape matching the portrait beside me). I have my dark hair cut in a short bob with bangs, am wearing small and thin frame glasses, and am dressed in all black with a long black skirt. I also have a name tag around my neck. Beside me is a very large stand with a print of my older self portrait, here titled “Cripple Punk Self Portrait”]
