“In my life supporting my chronically ill partner, we often hit infrastructure that either ignores people with mobility challenges or doesn’t understand their needs. This fountain-pen-and-ink watercolor of an abandoned wheelchair depicts our feelings of defeat when we reach a point in the path where we just can’t go any further.”

This is achingly beautiful and powerful. It is one of those times that I feel the painting is more effective than any words could be.
Powerful work! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for choosing my work! I am glad I could share a part of my caregiver life.
Thank you for capturing this feeling of frustration and disappointment. It’s hard for people to understand but it helps to show them.
