The artist who paints with her mouth
Alana Tillman was born with arthrogryposis, a condition that left her without the use of her arms. That didn’t stop her from becoming a professional artist. Now a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists of America, Tillman runs ArtXcursion, a sip-and-paint business in Sonoma County, and was recently selected for the MFPA’s 2026 national calendar. This piece features interviews with Tillman and her best friend Rebecca Harris.
