ARTIST WILL PARDEE FEATURED IN HERITAGE ROOM posted 3/5/03

During the month of March - which is Disabilities Awareness Month - the works of artist Will Pardee will be on display in the Heritage Room of Shipman Library.

Pardee has taken his art to a new level since a diving accident made him a quadripiliegic. Clenching a pencil between his teeth, he creates ducks, deer, Model T trucks, lighthouses, and backyard scenes, among other things.

Each drawing can take up to three months to complete. Pardee claims his inspiration comes from his faith in God, and from the life story of quadripiliegic artist Joni Eareckson Tada.

Read a Holland Sentinel article about Pardee, which includes a photo of the artist and a sample of his work.
