“I don’t want people to see me for my disability, but rather for my ability."

Thank you to Kevin and Donna Hutchinson for the gift of this artwork by their friend, Scott Menzel, an artist with a diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy. This drawing is proudly displayed in the GGC clinic waiting room with a plaque reading...

'This drawing depicting the history of the logging industry is the work of Scott Menzel, an artist and designer from Wisconsin, who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is a genetic condition involving the loss of nerve cells in the spinal cord that affects the nervous system and voluntary muscle movement. Despite limited mobility in his arms and legs, Menzel skillfully draws in pen and ink, paints in watercolor, and creates colorful imagery using computer graphics.'

“I don’t want people to see me for my disability, but rather for my ability. Everyone should believe that nothing is impossible and that everything is just a dream that you can reach and make a reality.” - Scott Menzel
