One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just climbed the Great Wall of China for the second time, using a wheelchair and a lot of help from my friends!
I recently flew around the island of Maui in a helicopter and saw all the rainbows, falls and beaches.
Although I use a wheelchair I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment building in Casablanca and got carried up the stairs every day to get in and out.
What's next? I don't know ...you tell me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a community artist by training, using conversation and relationship to change public policy. I am also a self taught artist in woodblock printmaking. I love learning and teaching and collaborating for new and interesting projects
