Legally blind teen draws amazing art by seeing past her disability

Lauren Mills is only 13 years old, but the legally blind teen has been 
creating art for as long as she can remember.

eye-movement. But the 9th grader at Peterson Seventh-Day Adventist 
Academy is proving to be a shining inspiration to many who meet her and 
see her paintings.
