Stephen Williams, of Wagga Wagga, is a C5 C6 quadriplegic, meaning he has no hand or lower body function.

Yet, Mr Williams creates detailed graphite drawings mistakable for black and white photography.

"I've been drawing for about six years now, I started because I couldn't get a job due to being in my chair, and this kind of helped me fill the days in," he said.

The Gobbagombalin resident and former tradesman has had to adjust to his new way of life after an incident where he dove into shallow water.

He said producing art started with a request from his wife Alicia, who asked him to draw her a rose in his spare time.

"I was never interested in it before, not at all, and I was pretty shocking to start with so I guess practice makes perfect," Mr Williams said.

Weaving a pencil between his fingers allows Mr Williams to shade, sketch and produce his art with a strong focus on the natural world.

"I like animals, one of a black cockatoo is my favourite," he said.

"We were at a friend's farm up at Tumbarumba and there were heaps of the birds up there, so I decided to draw that."

One piece can take up to 80 hours of work for Mr Williams, spread out over up to five months.

"I've probably made about 20 over the years, and have been selling them for about two years now," he said.
