If you ever felt your situation in life was unfair, think of Vanh - a 30 year old Lao artist who has almost no arms and no hands.

In spite of his situation, he has a heart and mind bursting full of artistry.  Living in Laos with a disability can be quite challenging.  Even for fully bodied abled individuals, finding meaningful work can prove challenging.

For Vanh, he manages to endure, persevere, and thrive.  Through his talent in painting and drawing, he's able to make a living for himself and his family.

This post is by no means a paid ad but we want to shine a light on this Lao artist and also to say that he's open to paid commissions for those who may want to hire him.

Check out his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/vanh.likedrawing.  Through his posts on his Facebook page, we get to hear his own reflections and thoughts, as well as, examples of his artwork, pictures of his family, and his other activities such as swimming and traveling.  He's an inspirational young man.

Below are some examples (images and reels) of his work.
