Adaptive art studio and gallery
Adaptive devices in the studio

Adaptive Painting Power Chair
Designed and donated by Utah Assistive Technology Program at Utah State University. Transforms movement into large-scale paintings using interchangeable rollers, mops, brooms, squeegees, and paint funnels — even the wheels can leave tire-track patterns.

Remote-Control Pendulum Painter
Designed by USU engineering students. Six independently controlled paint reservoirs release color as the pendulum swings in circles, ovals, or figure-eights — a collaboration between gravity, motion, and the artist.

Head-Controlled Robotic Painting Arm
Designed by USU engineering students. A lightweight headband sensor tracks head movement and translates it into precise robotic arm motion, letting artists paint, switch brushes, and raise or lower the brush hands-free.

3D-Printed Adaptive Grip Ball
Designed by MakeGood. Comes in three sizes and holds pens, pencils, markers, crayons, paintbrushes, or styluses securely, with an angled surface for pushing and guiding across a table.

3D-Printed Palm Pen
Designed by MakeGood. A supportive palm cuff reduces the need for a tight grip and works on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Available in three sizes and compatible with most drawing and painting tools.

Marker Toys
Toys and toy vehicles modified with marker holders turn pushing and driving into broad, energetic lines and abstract patterns — playful, accessible mark-making for artists of all ages.

Digital Art Workstations
Free access to computers equipped with digital art programs for sketching, painting, and design — accessible creative tools with no traditional art supplies required.

Head-Controlled Digital Art Station
A digital art workstation connected to the same head-controlled sensor used with the robotic painting arm, letting artists control the cursor with head movement to draw and paint hands-free.
