Cortney Elizabeth is an autistic artist based in the little town of Perry, Ohio.

She's never been able to whistle, cries a little bit every single time she sees a dog, is a little bit too obsessed with Tracy Chapman, and spends most of her days battling with chronic illness.

Cortney hopes to draw attention to the marginalization of disabled women through her art and writing, and befriend a few dogs along the way.

You can find her and her art on Instagram.
