art of independence

The Independence Day of United States reminds me of the disabled artists as they have also claimed independence by excelling through their passion and talents in art. The artwork of these 9 disabled artists in United States deeply touch my heart.

1. Michael Starosky (Richmand, California) has never worked in any art medium until at the age of 48. This untitled work, informally called Orange Head, makes me smile. Read more about his work at niadart.org.
