Ayo Ma’at
I have been a patient at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for more than 25 years and have received various types of therapy at the hospital. I regained my independence, self-value and passion for life and art here. Being in a wheelchair does not mute my creativity. As a visual artist — as I draw, paint or make jewelry — I design according to what I see, feel or resonate with from multicultural experiences. I use organic methods to create mainly green artwork, using crystal gemstone beads, glass, silver, goldplate, pewter, resin and wood when making jewelry. I also work in acrylics, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, pen, and watercolor pen to design images to place on canvas board or wood. I find joy in living each day free from resentment despite the negativity of a society that often is biased. I seek balance in life, in my activities and in my artwork.
