Colleen E. Ganey
ART

Colleen E. Ganey is currently living in the Washington D.C.
area. In 1986, she was diagnosed with a neurological
disorder which has left her paralyzed from the neck down.

Colleen's limitations necessitated a search for new ways to
remain active, and to express herself. She began painting for
the first time with a mouth stick in 1989. Self-taught, her
artwork has become a primary outlet of emotional expression.

Colleen expresses her renewed love of nature in her series of
botanicals, which are reminders of her time spent in the
mountains of Tennessee, where wildflowers flourish.
About the Artist and Business:

Colleen began painting with a mouth stick in 1989, after being diagnosed with an unknown
neurological disorder. She is now paralyzed from the neck down. Her artwork began as an
emotional outlet, but after many years she developed a love for art. She soon began
painting to raise money for other physically challenged charities, and sold several of her
prints to Very Special Arts of the Kennedy Foundation. Recently, Colleen sold the original
rights of one of her note cards to Evan Kemp Associates, (EKA).

It was in 2000 that Colleen began her own business. She has now built her own Web site
to display and sell her notecards. Her artwork is now sold worldwide.
