A note from Laura Sharpe

“After his accident, began mouth stick painting during his early recovery, but realized it was not the method that best connected him to his creative process. Eventually, he created a new way to paint using the tires of his wheelchair, transforming movement itself into art.

I wanted to pay homage to Tommy’s innovative artistry and the way he turned recovery, resilience, and adaptation into something deeply creative and uniquely his own.”

A note from Laura Sharpe:

“I grew up around cars. My father was a mechanic with an innate attention to detail. That early exposure gave me a lasting appreciation for the artistry behind car culture. I have such an appreciation for the level of detail and care behind it. When I met Page, I saw that same attention to detail in his work. At my first lowrider car show, Page helped me out of my wheelchair and assisted me into his award-winning lowrider for the first time, a moment that stayed with me and reminded me of the endless possibilities when access meets creativity. We are honored to choose Page for this artist feature. Together, we’re working to adapt accessibility in ways that allow more people to experience these curated cars, and incredible works of art.”

“It’s an energy thing...”

Eddie Donaldson’s , .donaldson , story starts with graffiti, but it was never just about the walls. It was about learning how to move, how to build, and how to turn creativity into opportunity. That foundation became GuerillaOne, , connecting artists around the world and opening doors that didn’t exist before.

As his path evolved, so did the purpose. Through Artists for Trauma , , and now TRUST Agency, , Eddie continues to create opportunity through relationships. At every stage, the focus stays the same: connection, growth, and becoming a better man than he was before.

Kelly “RISK” Graval helped define West Coast graffiti, turning freeways, overpasses, and freight trains into moving canvases. At his core, a West Coast writer, he never left graffiti behind, he pushed it forward into color, scale, and emotion. Through his work with Artists for Trauma, that same energy now lives in rehabilitation spaces, from transforming a driving simulator to adapting his compound into an accessible environment where artists of all abilities can create. And like everything he’s built, it keeps evolving. “Keep on keeping on.”

Joshua Chaney and Kris Cadle at the intersection of sound and experience.

Solodome™ x Solotones™
�Where frequency is felt, not just heard. From activation to recovery, this experience brings you back into your body, sharpens focus, and creates space to reset. Stress softens. Muscles release. The nervous system shifts.

They saw it firsthand. A close friend living with Parkinson’s experienced real relief through these frequencies, showing the impact goes beyond performance. Not just sound. A shift.

Tommy Hollenstein: Art in Motion


After a spinal cord injury, Tommy rebuilt his life through faith, movement, and creation. From painting with the tires of his wheelchair to redefining what’s possible through art, his work is driven by one belief: there is always a way forward. Through Artists for Trauma and the communities he supports, he gives back,
using art to create impact in real time. Art gave him his freedom back. Now, he’s helping others find theirs.
