Inspirational artist donates most valued work to charity

Inspirational wheelchair bound artist Marcus Krackowiser is giving back by donating his most valued painting of London’s Royal Opera House to a huge prestigious black tie event happening in London on November 2nd.

Marcus Krackowiser will provide his much sort after piece to the event in order to help other disabled individuals, even after having multiple offers made for the piece at last months London Pallax 2011 exhibition,

After breaking the 3rd & 4th vertebrae in his neck during a diving accident in 1980 Marcus considers himself incredibly lucky, if he had cracked just 2 vertebrae higher he would have been left completely paralyzed like Superman actor Christopher Reeves. But just like Superman, Marcus hasn’t let his disability get in the way; instead after a successful career in engineering, Marcus has followed his passion and become an accomplished artist. In fact he was one of the highlights of last weeks London’s PARALLAX 2011 exhibition and continues to forge a catalogue of impressive impressionist pieces. Although his mobility is restricted, Marcus creates vivid pieces of impressionist art.

By donating his most dynamic and vivid painting to this prestigious event Marcus is supporting other disabled people in pursuing their dreams. Leonard Cheshire Disability is one of the main benefactors of the event who are launching Ability Media, Europe’s first fully functional television and radio training establishment in South East London.
