SUMMARY:Wendy Elliott-Vandivier: Micro-Aggressions
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will run through August 15th. \nWendy Elliott-Vandivier’s  autobiographical cartoons focus on attitudinal barriers and stereotypes regarding disabilities\, and some of the micro-aggressions that disabled people experience while living normal\, un-inspirational lives. \nWendy Elliott-Vandivier is a graduate of Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. She has been making art and mischief since she was a young child growing up in Philadelphia. In college\, she majored in sculpture and staged a funeral of a disabled poster child to lay stereotypes of pity and helplessness firmly to rest. Her paintings explore issues of family\, memory and experiences as a disabled woman. Her autobiographical cartoons focus on attitudinal barriers and stereotypes regarding disabilities\, and some of the micro-aggressions that disabled people experience while living normal\, un-inspirational lives.  She is also a photographer of micro-scale monuments in nature\, and is often inspired by close-up images that people often do not notice in daily life – tree bark\, dead leaves\, flower anatomy\, and water. \nImage Description: Wheelchair Bound: Illustration of 5 female figures in various positions: In script: Im free in my wheelchair\, Physically Challenges\, Differently abled\, Wheelchair Bound\, Confined to a wheelchair and signature of artist. \n
