MANASSAS, Virginia — A woman in Virginia is inspiring others with her works of art.

WTTG reports that in 1987 Paige Crouch was paralyzed from the chest down following a car accident.

She loves to paint but is unable to use her hands to hold the brush, so she uses her mouth to paint the canvas.

“I’m able to pursue something that I’ve fallen in love with,” Crouch told WTTG.

Crouch has joined a company called Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. The group currently has more than 800 artists working from 75 different countries.
