{"product_id":"illustrated-alphabet-canvas-original-artwork-by-simon-rigg","title":"Illustrated Alphabet Canvas | Original Artwork by Simon Rigg","description":"\u003cp class=\"pl-copy\"\u003eSimon Rigg (1954–2021) became quadriplegic at 28 after a fall from a hay shed. During rehabilitation he was introduced to mouth painting — and what began as something new quickly became a lifelong passion and profession. He joined the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in 1990 and spent the decades that followed working from his home studio in Warrnambool, drawing on nature, family and the Australian landscape. He was known for his determination, his humour, and his meticulous detail and in 2017, he fulfilled a lifelong ambition by entering the Archibald Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pl-copy\"\u003eThis Alphabet painting is Simon at his most playful and precise. Every letter comes alive with its own painted world — bees, jellyfish, volcanoes, rainbows, a sailboat on the water all rendered in the vivid, expressive style that defined his work. It's the kind of piece a child grows up with: something to read, to discover, and to return to. Printed on a thick poly-cotton canvas and hand-stretched over solid wood bars, it arrives ready to hang and built to last. Every purchase helps preserve Simon's legacy and supports the MFPA's mission of financial independence for disabled artists worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pl-copy\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlso available as a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— another way to bring Simon's alphabet to life.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mfpa.com.au\/collections\/children\/products\/childrens-alphabet-jigsaw\"\u003eShop the puzzle →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My MFPA Shop Australia","offers":[{"title":"20″×28″","offer_id":46201065504965,"sku":"7235640_19310","price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40″×55″","offer_id":46201065537733,"sku":"7235640_19329","price":229.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/3167\/8917\/files\/canvas-_in_-40x55-front-6a0119096b89b.jpg?v=1778456883","url":"https:\/\/www.mymfpashop.com.au\/products\/illustrated-alphabet-canvas-original-artwork-by-simon-rigg","provider":"My MFPA Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
