Laura’s rich and complex pieces draw upon older aesthetics to make so-called medical equipment appealing and engaging. Even the name Opulent Mobility makes me question the lack of velvet and fur on my wheelchair. But it is not just the tangible sumptuousness of Laura’s pieces that helps me think differently about my chair. She makes me question why I have such a limited conception of these vehicles.

Laura Brody is an ingenious, extraordinarily capable humanitarian and down to earth social artist-change maker. I’ve loved watching how she has evolved and expanded the reach of Opulent Mobility. She knows how to connect communities and has so much insight to offer.
Susan Ruth of Hey Human, director of The First
I had A. Laura Brody on my Hey Human podcast and her episode was fantastic. Her message of visibility, especially in creative spaces, for those with disability or mobility challenges, is inspiring and important work. I (also) had the opportunity to be on her show, Genius Teatime, and was impressed by her ability to get deep into the heart of who I am and what I do. 

Articulate and brilliant, she is making the world smaller in the best possible way, encouraging people to shine brightly and to create from their truth.

I have had the honor of participating in “Opulent Mobility “ art exhibition the past two years. It is a platform unlike any other, that not only gives a voice to disabled artist like myself to share our stories  but creates a community of support as well.  I am so grateful to have made the connections I have with the other artists within this community, regardless of the specific circumstances we face there is a universal understanding found in this space. 

As far as the message as a whole that Opulent Mobility spreads that disability is something to be celebrated,  not isolated or excluded, this message needs to be heard by ALL. Again I am honored to be a small part of helping spread that message by participating in this exhibition.

I wanted to say again how grateful I am to have found you, Laura, and Opulent Mobility. The former, because you are a wonderful human and I have delighted in getting to know you over this past year. And the latter, because as someone who has been a friend and caregiver to people with chronic conditions (discovering that I have been facing invisible illness myself... or sometimes only invisible to myself, like when I was diagnosed with ADHD), I appreciate the camaraderie, the generosity, the transparency, the humor, the darkness, and the tremendous light that this show casts on our glorious, messy mortality.

This is so much more than an art show… It gives hope. It gives voice to experiences that are beyond words. It is so important, and I am grateful to have shared my little part in OM.

"Laura is one of the very finest educators I have ever encountered! Her incredibly deep knowledge combined with a playful attitude reveals the irreverence and fluency of a true master. I consider myself unbelievably lucky to learn from Laura (my closet is transformed after only a few lessons!) and to have her as a colleague in education. In lessons I get such clear information about specifics, but also about the underlying principles that have historically eluded me. When I'm working on my own, I can hear Laura's voice saying "Yes, you can do that- and here are some ways how!"  Knowing Laura has totally transformed my perception of what's possible, and validated what I always suspected was possible but didn't have a process for- now I have a process."
