Sales from our Family Store helps Little Dinos support disabled kids!
At Little Dinos, everything we create is rooted in love for our community and for the disabled children who inspired this project from the start.
As the artist behind these pieces, I started painting disabled dinosaurs for my nephew, Lucas. He loves dinos and wears AFOs, and I wanted him to see characters who move through the world like he does. As a disabled artist, I know how meaningful it is to feel genuinely reflected in the art around you.
Seeing Lucas light up when he spots a dino that looks like him keeps us going. That feeling of connection, of being truly seen, is something every disabled kid deserves.
Disability representation that’s honest, playful, and empowering can still be hard to find. So we’re making it, one painting at a time!

If you're requesting a memorial piece, you're welcome to share as much or as little as you’d like. I'm here to honor, grieve, and remember your child with you. I'd love to get to know them through you.
We believe all families should have access to art, no matter what! When time and energy allow, we offer our custom paintings free to families with disabled kids who may not otherwise be able to afford one.
Giveaways are announced on Instagram @LittleDinosForLucas. While we can’t promise a regular schedule, we offer what we can, when we’re able, and always with care.
If you need help filling out the form, communicating your idea, or accessing this service in another way, feel free to email me directly. We're always happy to work with families in a way that feels comfortable and accessible!
As a disabled artist, my health sometimes impacts my work pace. I do my best to keep timelines reasonable, but flexibility and understanding are appreciated. Custom pieces generally take 2 to 5 weeks, but if you have a specific deadline, please include that in your request so I can try to accommodate it.
