Swapna Augustine's disability does not stop her from pursuing her dreams.

Swapna is 42-year-old and a resident of Ernakulam district in Kerala, India, makes a living from selling her artworks.

She is the inspirational foot artist and has spent her life refusing to be defined by her disability or allow it to come in the way of following her passion.

“Handicap is a state of mind. I do not want to lose out on living my life due to unavoidable shortcomings.”Sapna said.

Swapna learned alphabets and letters by drawing them by her foot in the sand when she was small.

Her paintings are sold in India as well as Internationally.

She has received lots of awards and accolades for her artistic work and her social activities.

She speaks to physically challenged students and inspires them to overcome their handicap using creativity, running creative workshops where the group produces material to sell at exhibitions.
