Representation definitely matters and one area where I don't think I've ever seen it is in home furnishings. Drop into any big box retailer and you'll easily find wall art featuring people of all demographics... except those with disabilities. I honestly feel like this is an incredible opportunity for an artist to appeal to a relatively untapped market. The range of subject matter concerning people with disabilities encompasses all the same points of life experienced by able bodied people. Sports feats, historic moments, life's highs and lows, people of influence... The inspiration is definitely there. Get creative and display your community and history with pride!
