About
Zhang Kaini was a Mandarin teacher in Singapore before a fatal car accident led to her spinal cord injury. She became paralysed from shoulders down. Inspired by Joni Eareckson, a fellow quadriplegic turned artist and author, Kaini taught herself to paint with her mouth. With her enormous strength, precision and concentration, she made rapid progress and started to make a living out of mouth painting. Today, her stunning paintings of the natural world are in great demand among corporate clients for their intricacy, depth and beauty. As a full-time artist who has overcome tremendous odds, Kaini hopes to inspire, encourage and touch the hearts of fellow persons with disabilities.
