Many years ago, Stouffville resident Luke Anderson was involved in a tragic Mountain bike accident that left him a paraplegic. Based on his experience after his accident, Luke created an initiative called “StopGap”; ramps designed to create awareness as well as access for individuals with handicaps.
Luke’s initiative began in Stouffville, where he grew up and now he wants to push forward in Toronto. Check out his website (stopgap.ca) for a video featuring Luke himself explaining his vision.
Now, Luke and his mother have organized a fundraiser for StopGap and asked the arts community for help. Twelve artists will be creating unique art on a StopGap ramp and they will be auctioned off to raise money for the cause. I am pleased to be one of those artists. See below for my painted (acrylic) ramp titled “Corner Store”.
