Alex Biagi taught himself to hold a paintbrush in his mouth and to apply just the right pressure to the canvas.
By Cathy Free March 22 at 8:00 AM Alex Biagi initially posted his painting of a fox on Reddit last month hoping to drum up a little support for an April auction supporting his favorite animal rescue group in Denver.
"When I was a kid, I’d sit down to sketch something almost every day,” Biagi said. “I was always running through paper. It’s something that continued through junior high and high school and when I went to community college. I loved creating with my hands.” "I had to quit my job, and I also realized that I could no longer live in an apartment on my own,” Biagi recalled. “So I had to move back in with my parents. I went into a depression for a while about having to give up my independence.”
While life has been hard on Biagi and his parents, his father said that at his core his son is the same person he was before the diagnosis: “He’s a good kid — ambitious, full of ideas and very smart.” "My left hand is still completely paralyzed, but I've regained quite a bit of motion in my right arm and some in my left arm,” he said. “And what's really great is that I now have enough strength in my right hand to use a computer mouse, so I can work again on graphic design and music.”
