"The Hattie Larlham Creative Arts Program
gives artists with profound disabilities a hand and a voice, letting
them create without the focus of their limitations. We see the people we
work with as artists, refusing to define them by their disabilities,
but rather, letting them define themselves by what they can achieve.

another galaxy, I had the pleasure of hanging with Canton artist,
Annette Yoho Feltes at her home
& out & about the Canton area.
I'm a fan of her work and wanted to spread the word on her prolific
creations. I find them fun, evoking, admirable and downright funky.
Via
Facebook, we started this
