Two months after running the London Marathon for Barnardo’s in 1995, Keith Jansz broke his neck in a car accident which left him paralysed from the chest down. He spent six months in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, coming home to adjust to a new way of life. The gift of a book about the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists inspired him to start learning to paint by mouth and Keith progressed rapidly, surprising himself, painting in oils and sketching in pastel and charcoal. His style is influenced by his heroes the Impressionists, his work being reproduced around the world, and his paintings have been exhibited from Shanghai to Vienna, Mexico City to Copenhagen.
