This Christmas, support disabled artists by giving unique gifts that truly give back. Each purchase directly supports the artists who created it, helping to sustain their independent livelihoods while celebrating their creativity.
The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA), a collective of disabled artists who paint using their mouths or feet, is offering their new range of high-quality gifts that combine artistry with stories of inspiration. Their Christmas products can now be purchased via their online shop: www.mfpa.co.uk.
Buyers can select from beautifully illustrated jigsaw puzzles, delightful wrapping paper with tags, engaging family games, colourful calendars and festive Christmas cards, with every purchase supporting the artists who create them. Christmas is a crucial period, providing the artists with the valuable opportunity to make their own living from their unique work.
MFPA member Rob Trent, an artist who paints with his mouth, said: ” Christmas is such a special time of the year for us artists. It’s when we can share our creativity with the world and connect with people through our art. Seeing someone enjoy a card, a puzzle, or a print that I’ve designed brings me so much joy, and knowing it also helps me continue doing what I love makes it even more meaningful.”
