David Nolt was born in 1980 with Multiple Congenital Arthrogryposis, a birth defect that left him without the use of his arms and hands. David began painting as a child, using oils to duplicate images of his surroundings. He learned of the MFPA through current member Jack Reich, who mentored David to his acceptance. Today, David works from a studio in Leola, Pennsylvania.When he is not painting, Nolt enjoys working with his telescope, which he maneuvers with a mouth stick."I am always inspired by the life around me, so I wanted to learn how to translate that to something that could be shared,� Nolt says. "I am looking forward to stretching my talents on behalf of the MFPA. David is an Associate Member of the Association.
