Lapper said there were still many barriers to being a disabled artist.
“Just the physicality of even painting, moving around the studio,” she said.
“It’s been a help that I have got an electric wheelchair now, because I can actually move around my easel which means I can work a bit bigger.”
She also highlighted attitudes towards disabled artists, saying some people assume they do not create their work themselves.
“I think people think that other people paint them and we just come in and sign it,” she said.
