Grant Sharman is a celebrated New Zealand mouth painter and former elite wheelchair rugby player, coach, and high-performance sports administrator. After a spinal injury from a sporting accident in his youth, Grant forged a new path, both on the international sports stage and in the art world. He represented and coached the Wheel Blacks to Paralympic gold and later led Paralympics New Zealand’s high-performance programme. Inspired by fellow artist Bruce Hopkins, Grant took up mouth painting in 1980 and went on to become a full member and board representative of the global Mouth & Foot Painting Artists Association. His vibrant acrylic and watercolour works reflect the same dedication, resilience, and creativity that have defined every stage of his remarkable life.
