Doug Jackson was born in 1953 with Cerebral Palsy and is unable to use his hands or legs– despite this, he discovered a passion for art at age 11 after watching his brother painting at an easel. His brother attached a paintbrush to the end of Jackson’s headband stylus and from then on, Jackson used this method to create his art.
Like a brooding hen, we incubate the fledgling artist, whatever their discipline. What we get is a seemingly infinite flow of individuals seeking something beyond everyday life.
Artwork is being donated by many local artists and collectors to be included in the auction. Bids will start as low as $20, so don’t miss this opportunity to start or grow your collection! All proceeds from art sales go directly to The Art Studio, Inc. to continue operations and make improvements.
