Jonah Dillon has found a way to make art with an unexpected material.
After losing the ability to use his hands, his wheelchair took the place of a paintbrush. What has resulted is colorful, powerful work both in appearance and message.

Despite being born with muscular dystrophy, I have always found ways to express myself through art.
Most of my life I enjoyed drawing, but after high school, due to the progression of my condition, I lost the ability to draw or paint with my hands. Now years later, I discovered a new way to create art by applying paint to the wheels of my wheelchair.
I think my paintings could be considered something new because I have not seen very many people paint the way I do, which is by using the wheels on my wheelchair. I recently did a whole bunch of new paintings where I incorporated acrylic pouring, which I think made my art even more unique.
