Student born with rare disease pursues passion for art

A student at the College of the Mainland creates after without the use of her hands, instead, she uses her mouth.
Reyna Montalvo was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenital, which causes her joints to be stuck where they are and she is not able to move her arms or legs.
"I like to draw art, that’s my passion," Montalvo said. "I do everything with my mouth."
Her grandmother said "I know people who can’t write very well, much less draw with their mouth,"
Montalvo is pursuing a degree in Visual and Studio Art. The 21-year-old student aspires to be a character designer for a TV show or video games.
