Some of the photographers are experienced but many are novices who have found a love for photography as an exciting, creative outlet since being in a wheelchair.
Maureen's work is in the exhibition and the other local participants are Corban Christensen, 14, of Feilding, and Terry Oliver-Ward from Foxton.
"By placing the seated photographer as an integral participant in the world of arts, we hope to build more awareness of diversity and the importance of inclusion," Maureen says.
"The Seated Photographers aim to do for the arts what the Paralympics have done for sport.
"I started The Seated Photographers to encourage those in wheelchairs to 'get off their bums', figuratively speaking, and do something worthwhile to promote themselves and the fact that a wheelchair does not define who you are. Wheelchair users have a place in society and should be included and feel valued, but not without using a little initiative and a little effort on their part."
All works in the exhibition are available for purchase, with proceeds going into a trust for wheelchair users who are interested in photography but perhaps don't have the means or support available to pursue it.
The exhibition runs to March 13.
Feilding and District Art Society, 104 Manchester St, Feilding. Open weekdays 10am - 4pm, Saturdays 10am - 1pm. Free Admission.
