North Bay mouth and foot artist featured in national calendar

A Sonoma County artist is gaining attention for her impressionistic landscapes, and her technique, using only her mouth and feet to paint. This year, one of Alona Tillman’s landscape paintings was selected for the U.S. edition of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) calendar, an international association representing more than 800 artists worldwide. Tillman, who was born with arthrogryposis, a rare condition that affected the development of her hands, has been creating art since she was 5 years old.
