Rigg will be demonstrating his considerable talents from tomorrow at the Royal Queensland Show (EKKA) in Brisbane.

Almost 20 years ago Rigg was left a quadriplegic after falling from the roof of his shed while doing repairs.

He has been confined to a wheelchair since.

After many years battling adversity, Rigg has now found fulfilment through his art and the art associations he has been involved with, including as an active student artist of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA).

Rigg’s painting encompasses a wide range of styles, materials and skills.

“I like to show that I can use a range of different styles, but I also want to give people an exciting demonstration,” Rigg said.

This will be his first appearance at the EKKA.

“My favourite thing about these kind of shows is the good interaction you get between people,” Rigg said.

“You meet people with the same interests who respect the painting that we do at MFPA.”

The MFPA was founded in 1956 by a group of European artists and is a self-help organisation that gives people with disabilities the opportunity to fulfil their creative ambitions and maintain financial independence through the selling of their artwork.

He will be showcasing an array of his work, including the use of acrylic, water-based, colour and ink.
