The area's most celebrated artists with disabilities will feature an eclectic mix of original, unforgettable artistry. From photographs to paintings to digital art, amazing works will be available for appreciation and purchase.
David Farber, Photographer
David’s interest in wildlife and nature photography began at the age of 13 and has been his passion for the last 42 years. Not even his 1981 motorcycle accident which left him a triplegic could distract him from one of the great loves of his life. Able only to move his right arm, David shoots photos with the help of a utility frame to hold his camera and sipping tube to take the picture. His one functioning hand never has to leave the focusing ring. David also does all his own processing, mat cutting and frame building.
