Disabled Artist to Hold Art Sale

March 12, 2009 · Published By  

Phoenix, AZ – Looking at Jason Mitchener’s vibrant artwork, many people wish they had his talented hands. Having Jason’s hands wouldn’t help though because he creates his art on the computer with a stick held between his teeth.

Born with a rare neuromuscular disease, Jason is confined to an electric wheelchair and requires a ventilator to breathe. “Think Christopher Reeve, only better looking,” Jason jokes.

Jason has been creating art on the computer for over seven years. “My dad was an artist who did etchings of Kachinas. I always wanted to be able to draw like him but I couldn’t,” Jason shares. He couldn’t, that is, until he found the right medium. “Once I discovered 3D digital art, I was finally able to be an artist like my dad.”

Covering a wide range of subjects including landscapes, animals, and people, Jason’s art enables him to shine despite his disability.

Jason will be holding an art sale at the care center where he has lived for over 17 years. All of his art will be available.

When: Monday, March 23rd and Tuesday, March 24th 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Where: North Mountain Medical and Rehabilitation Center, 9155 N. Third St., Phoenix, AZ 85020.

Prices: 16″x20″ prints for $20, 8″x10″ prints for $10.
