March was Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to celebrate inclusion, highlight the contributions of people with disabilities, and, most importantly, amplify their voices.
This year, New York State Council on Developmental Disabilities invited self-advocates from across the state to submit their work under the theme "Celebrating our Achievements." What began as a one-time initiative has quickly grown into an annual tradition, providing a vital platform to showcase the importance of inclusion through creativity. With nearly 200 submissions from across New York, we are incredibly proud to announce that five artists supported by Living Resources were selected to be featured in this prestigious statewide showcase.
Art is more than just a hobby at Living Resources. It is a vital form of expression and communication. These five individuals shared their unique perspectives through diverse styles, ranging from whimsical pop art to intricate geometry.
Christina H. brings a sense of lightheartedness to the gallery with her piece, “Keep Calm and Drink Dunkin”. Her mixed-media work is a vibrant tribute to the simple joys of a favorite treat. Nearby, Cindy S. captures the thrill of success in her piece “Jackpot”, using shimmering textures and glitter to illustrate the excitement of a big win.
Representing the complexity of the internal world, Gillian M. submitted a stunning mandala titled “My Brain”. Her use of geometric symmetry and a balanced color palette beautifully reflects the intricate beauty of the mind. In a bold contrast of color, Sean F.’s “Sunflowers” radiates warmth and energy, utilizing thick, expressive brushstrokes that command attention. Finally, Tim P. offers a powerful interpretation of an American icon with his painting of the Statue of Liberty, using a sophisticated, muted palette and strong lines to evoke a sense of freedom and strength.
Seeing our artists recognized on a statewide level reinforces our mission. This gallery provides a space where the focus is shifted away from a diagnosis and onto the talent, vision, and hard work of the individual.
We want to extend a huge thank you to the NYS Council on Developmental Disabilities for providing this platform
