Art and Photography Gallery

From its beginning three years ago, Wordgathering has frequently included the work of visual art related to disability, either through its subject matter or its artist.. Below is a sample from the work of all the artists and photographers who have appeared in our journal so far. These include painters Robert Woltanski, Betty G. Miller, computer artist Dana Hirsch, and photographers Heather Kirk*, Ilene Myers and Elijah Northen*. For viewers interested in seeing more of these artists work, a link is provided to the original article in which each of the artists work appeared in Wordgathering.
