Artist Mariam Pare was shot in the spine when she was just starting her creative career at 20 years old. She was consequently left paralyzed from her neck down and her artistic career was left in doubt.
However Pare never gave up on what she loved. While in therapy she learnt to write her name with a pen in her mouth, this then led to gaining control over a paintbrush.
Pare says:
“Now, I think I’m better than I was with my hands.”
