When Tim Lefens walked into
the Matheny School in New Jersey to show slides of his
paintings, his one-hour visit became a life-changing
experience. The students he met had severe physical
challenges: only one of them could talk, none could walk,
and all lacked the use of their hands. As a painter facing
his own gradual loss of eyesight, Tim had come to fully
appreciate the power of art, and he was determined to enable
the students to paint despite their physical limitations. |
