"I believe there is art is every single one of us" - Astro Saulter

Astro Saulter is a 33-year-old Jamaican artist with cerebral palsy. He uses a program called EZ-Keys that allows him to control his computer with head motions; he uses vector drawing programs like Inkscape, PowerPoint and Macromedia. Some pieces take days, some take weeks, and the longest, his brother says, has taken 3 months.

According to his brother, Astro's brother, his love for art could be credited to their mother who always encouraged Astro's creativity. She died seven years ago.

Astro describes his passion in his artist's statement: "I love being an artist, and I really enjoy what I do. I take a lot of pride and enthusiasm in imagining and creating new art all the time. No matter who you are or where you come from or even if you have a disability, if you have a dream or vision of something you really want to do in life, you must face that challenge, that goal head-on."
