Limp Wrist Art

Welcome!

In early 2017, while serving in the US Army, I sustained a spinal cord injury from a gunshot that rendered me a C4 Complete Quadriplegic. I started a blog called Life Keeps Rolling to process my thoughts and navigate grief. Eventually, I learned how to wear a prosthetic stylus on my paralyzed hands, and I began incorporating digital art into my platform.

Art has transformed my life and has provided me with many opportunities. I am fortunate to be able to share my craft with you today. This website features a combination of written and visual content and explores some of my deepest thoughts and experiences. I hope that you are able to leave here having learned or felt something new. Thank you for being a part of my journey.

BLOG

CARTOONS

This site brings together several parts of my creative and advocacy work. In Life Keeps Rolling, I write about spinal cord injury, disability culture, public policy, the everyday realities of navigating life as a quadriplegic, and everything in between. My cartoons and digital art explore disability through humor and perspective, often highlighting the awkward, frustrating, and occasionally absurd moments that come with accessibility and social attitudes. You will also find professional design projects and visual work created using adaptive technology, showing how creativity has expanded as I navigate disability.
