Now open: Connor Fogal

February 9 - March 25, 2023

Hi!! My name is Connor, I am born with cerebral palsy it hasn’t stopped me from doing what I love to do. I love to paint, snow ski, run marathons and sky dive. Yes, I said sky dive!!!! My goal is to bring awareness to the world about all types of disabilities. I want people to know that disabled people want & deserve to be treated just like you.

When I was brought home to my family as a baby, my parents were told I would never function and that my life would revolve around acute fulltime care due to my Cerebral Palsy. CAT scans showed that a major portion of my brain was missing. Six months after a 2nd scan was taken…and the miracle stands at my brain showing as completely whole.
In the years following, I became an avid skier, using a modified device that would allow me to not just ski, but to show off a little. Photos exist of me in full flight over jumps on snowy mountainsides. But it’s not just my ability to adapt and excell that makes this young man unique…everything I has, I works for. My parents have taught me  the valuable lesson of acheiving through perserverence and effort.


I have taken on the craft of painting…primarily landscapes and the occasional portrait of the legend Bob Marley. I’ve created an organization – MyLOW (My Life On Wheels) – that creates funding for disabled kids, teenagers and adults to attend ski schools in the region. This is solely funded by the income generated by sales of my artwork… I also looks forward to the day when he can reach out to the masses and talk to hundreds of people at assemblies and school gatherings.
