Artist Ellen Kanes bright paintings have known for their unique combination of shapes and textures， but what makes them even more 1. is that Kane lives with cerebral palsy. Kane has limited control of her body， and only speaks with hand signals. But with the help of art promoters at the Matheny Arts Access Program， in Peapack， New Jersey， the images in her mind come alive.
Mathenys unique program was 2. （operated/founded） in 1993， when its creators asked a challenging question： How can someone who cant use his arms， is non?verbal， or has 3. （limited/relative） range of motion， create art？ “The answer is， art is inside them，” Murray said. “Its not a physical thing. So， what we had to do was really develop a way for it to get from their heads to our hands.” Over the years， the program has allowed its artists to create digital renderings （演奏）， paintings， and even dance choreography.
Kane has been with the 4. for 26 years. Through hand gestures， she directs others with careful precision. They ask Kane question after question about color， shape， line， form and texture; she answers “yes” or “no” with her hands—a nod of the fist means “yes”， and an open hand means “no”. The process is so precise.
“The work is outstanding and Ive always felt that it deserves to be on a big stage，” Sothebys thought. The famous auction （拍卖） house gave Kane and four of her fellow 5. the chance of a lifetime： an exhibit in New York City， and a chance for buyers from the world to 6. their artworks.
When the big day came， Kanes biggest cheerleader was there： her mom. By the end of the day， Kane had 7. three of her paintings for hundreds of dollars each. CBS News correspondent Tom Hanson asked the artists mother， Pyong Su Kane， “Knowing that many of her paintings have been sold， how does that make you feel？” “I feel like flying！” she exclaimed （呼喊）. “Congratulations， Ellen！”
And for someone non?verbal， on the walls of one of the worlds great auction houses， Ellen Kanes art spoke louder than words.
