Written by author Leslee Johnson, this blog chronicles the process of creating the 25-year retrospective of the artist Marcus Thomas. At 26, Marcus Thomas survived a skiing accident which left him paralyzed from the neck down. Six months into his recovery, learning to live as a quadriplegic, he took up a paintbrush and started to create art. Now, 25 years after the accident, he continues to learn how to live - as an artist.
