Rather than an artist in some field with a disability, John, here's a recommendation for coverage about an artist who has created really cool tools to allow individuals with disabilities to create their own art. Dwayne Szot created Zot Artz: https://zotartz.com/ He's built devices that attach to wheelchairs to allow their users to roll paint or large sticks of chalk on roads, sidewalks, or huge sheets of cardboard. Sticks that allow the users to paint designs on walls. Etc. We brought Dwayne up to the U. of MN Duluth a summer or two (like we did you) to give workshops and I've seen him in action. I think his work is worth highlighting if you want to do provide more coverage about the arts and individuals with disabilities.

Great idea, Clay. Thanks! I can cover this in addition to the works generated by individuals with disabilities. I'll research it. Thanks for the lead.
