Chuck BairdChuck Baird"I am no longer interested in whether I am a Deaf artist or an artist who happens to be deaf. I have accepted being either cultured Deaf or hard of hearing; that's fine with me. But what makes me an artist, that really matters. The process is the power of creativity and all the gifts inside and from the surrounding environment. It is so much more fun that way. The brush becomes so free, and speaks or moves for itself."

Ann SilverAnn Silver"No matter how you look at it - protest art, political satire, victim or graphic wit - I do not shy away from ethical questions or controversy. Having fused scholarship, creativity and sociopolitical philosophy, I truly believe that my being Deaf-with-a-capital-D gives me a greater visual acuity which in turn affects my work, artistic and otherwise. Deaf Art is my soul, my heart, my conscience."

Susan DuporSusan Dupor"As an artist who is Deaf, I am constantly exploring my identity as a Deaf woman. I have been painting within this theme for the past ten years and my perspective has changed throughout the years. There were moments when I vented my emotions, and others when I wanted to celebrate the uniqueness of Deaf culture and seek the ironies of being Deaf in a hearing world."
