When I was still at high school I started TAFE for an afternoon a week. I realised pretty quickly that I enjoyed painting so decided to enrol 3 days a week after finishing up at school. I’ve had some great teachers and helper’s - having CP you need some help during the day. I’ve also been really lucky living around the corner from Robert Juniper and benefiting from his advice, from time to time. For those of you that don’t know Robert was an Australian artist, art teacher, illustrator, painter, printmaker and sculptor. To me he was just Bob, a really cool tall guy who always wore a black waistcoat and hat. A year or so ago I did a...
Last November I set up a store on our local oval selling Danielink t-shirts for the first time. It was part of the Darlington Arts Festival and the weather was so bad I thought they would cancel the whole thing! The guy in the store next to me, Terry, loved my tees and he bought one for himself. He told me he has three sons and one of them is in a wheelchair, he knows it’s not easy to look after someone in a chair. Terry also plays cricket with the Darlington Social Cricket Club. He asked me if I was interested in scoring for them. I said yes, but I was nervous, I didn’t know one thing about cricket. ...

Four years ago I started playing wheelchair basketball. I was rubbish, I couldn’t push a chair or bounce a ball or do any of their drills. My first game was scary, I got the ball and threw it straight out of the court! I decided to stick with it though as I made some really great friends and they understand what I go through every day, we’re on the same level. After playing a few years I got better at pushing, bouncing and understanding how the game works. Then I got my own sports chair made up. I started getting into my games and scored one goal in Season 1 and two goals in Season 2. Last year I got...
