<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>That is good to know. I had accidently tried
to introduce Patty to the Touch Art director and did not realize I was doing it
using this address - that is all. My mistake by not paying attention to
details. lol </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Ann, thanks again for your suggestions for doing
the Braille labels. The Lawrence County Blind Association here in PA is working
on them for me right now. You gave me so much insight into doing this - and for
a future show, I want to do the Braille book as you described but no time to do
it for the upcoming show in March - I still have a ton of work to get done on my
art for those two shows, plus putting together two conference presentations for
a PA university, too. I need a clone!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Good evening,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Art in all forms is just plain fascinating.
You are kind to ask me about how I became "inspired." But
first...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I didn't know one had to be in NFB to be on
this list. Too bad-for NFB! I am so glad that Suzanne tried to reach out to
me-have her try my personal email:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4><A href="mailto:pece03@gmail.com"
target=_blank>pece03@gmail.com</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I, too, have Stargart's and was found to be
legally blind by age eleven. But before that I was far-sighted and can
recall that. I think the way to describe my vision, now at age 60, is that
it is like an Impressionist painting-it has gone from like a Renoir to more
washed out like a Monet (who they now think had RP). I would be so pleased
to speak with Suzanne, and you, too-but you are pretty busy!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Linda, I have a conference call number that I
have used for my Holistic Healthcare & Psychology business and if you
ever want to talk as a small group, it is no problem to use that
line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Our daughter-in-law's family is from
Scranton, is that anywhere near your exhibits coming up?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I think art, details and writing is just in
me. But it didn't hurt to have a self-taught artist and art teacher for a
mom! All four of us kids produced several pieces through our up bringing
just as a part of normal activity in the house. Mom taught me by age five or
so about drawing perspective by using a square with a point on the horizon
line to draw a barn-kids find those "tricks" fascinating! Then to corral us
all and slow us down, she would put a piece of paper in front of each of us.
Then she would draw three lines of varying styles on our paper and
tell us to make a picture out of it and sometimes she would time us. These
were our games with her-no Candyland, thank goodness.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Art pencils and erasers were always around
and I still had quite a bit of vision and loved to sketch and would draw a
portrait from a photo, sketch dried oak leaves but mostly spent hours daily
drawing fashion design. I went from realism to the minimalist and suggestive
lines of fashion. I didn't want to go through all of the intro art at the
Liberal Arts college (Colby) I went to-"The History of Art" was a staple on
our coffee tables and often part of discussion-especially as Mom lectured on
art appreciation and had a fun way to take apart the Mona Lisa and then
reconstruct the genius of it, in spite of the ill proportioned body
parts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I say it was all a part of me because
when my dad (Yankee that he was) suggested making money with art talents (He
told us to paint rocks and the tourists would buy them...what a silly
thought! and it sounded like work...the selling part.) and when my English
professor suggested that my writing could be published, that sounded like
work, too. I just do what I do. Sharing what I do for the fun and love of it
is entirely another thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Now, as I have returned to art with much less
vision, I am sorting out what it is that I do. I like working with mica,
spraying paint and discover lots of uses for doo-dads like feathers and sand
paper and old lace and pressed flowers. But would love to work with large
clumps of oil paints!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Linda, I can't imagine losing sight so
suddenly. What you are doing is an illustration not only of your spirit, but
also of the creative drive. I certainly agree with you that most people do
not think of things like artists do or even those who appreciate art do.
Everything around us is magical. Painting a sky at sunset the way it is
truly playing out...well, people would find the painting or image
unbelievable. Nature is the Master Artist. And seeing balance and
composition in every day life is such fun and no accident.. It just all
shows up as a gift!! And then there's textures, textiles and a whole 'nother
email!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>OK...enough. I have no formal training and
would not know how to do a Touch Art sort of event and guide people through.
But the concept is irrestable! It would be great to have an art class in the
large room at the center. It is wonderful how you describe the sighted and
the blind mingling at an exhibit and how you are bringing art into
hospitals...Do you really think that the person in the next bed will turn
down their TV??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>I am exited about our discussion and know
that there are no coincidences-like Suzanne and I both having Stargart's,
for one thing. I do feel a sense of urgency because of the MS, but art and
the peace that it brings for me are my passion and can keep me in the game.
(oh, y'know after family, my faith and all that!) But what if art is the way
to common ground and a level playing field between sighted and blind?? This
is most exiting-Tipping Point exiting!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Patricia, my friend tried to send you a note
but it was rejected by the source as she is not a member of NFB. If you
should want to talk with her, I can give you her phone number or else you
could send her an email with her address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I think it's so interesting that you have
always made art and had a life-long interest in art. It's so very
different than what most people would think about, isn't it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>She does not have a personal website. This
will be her first exhibition of her art work, ever! She has never
participated in anything like this before.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I think the way she is making the art is not
tactile at all because she uses a CCTV to do it. That would indicate to me
that she is working visually, but she is intentionally making some of the
paintings tactile so that people with sight loss can feel the images in
them. She has stargardts disease, so have been very gradually losing
her sight over many years. She has just been diagnosed about a year
ago as being "legally blind" so she still had a lot of vision, sees detail
and color very clearly, she says. I would be at the opposite range
of the scale as I am about two steps away from completely blind. My sight
was lost very quickly, with Ischemic Optic Neuropathy - that means
something happened to make my optic nerve swell and shut off oxygen to the
brain and made me blind nearly instantly. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>All of my pottery is made non-visually from
beginning to end. I have help with mixing my glazes - my hubby helps me
with that. And, he helps me when glazing to be sure that glaze has
gone where I expected it to be. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>How did you begin drawing? what
inspired you to begin doing it, as a child? Can you talk a little bit
about how it all began and how you experienced it during the process of
art making? I am so interested in learning more of what you do,
Patricia.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=4>Your "story" is inspiring. My dream was
to go to art school, but growing up blind in Maine, I was told that
"blind people can't do art"...even though I was drawing with different
leads, charcoal, etc for hours daily. And now, as I come back to my art
(which had gone the oil on canvas route and now I "stick stuff to
stuff", as you know), I have been diagnosed with MS.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Hi Heather,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Wish you were near here, too!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Suzanne Gibson and I are working on two
exhibitions for this year - they are scheduled to be in western
Pennsylvania.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Exhibition Title: Vision and
Revision: Two artists with limited sight, not limited
vision.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Suzanne Gibson: Paintings on canvas
(tactile)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Lynda Lambert: Pottery (Tactile)
and Mixed Media Fibers/Bead Working (Visual)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Show one: Merrick Art Gallery, New
Brighton, PA</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=4> March 7 - April
3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> On
March 22, we will be in the gallery making art and will have a "meet
the artist and demo"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> At
the opening reception, we will do a short "Artists Walk Through" of
the show for people - each of us will talk about 2
of the works we have created for the
show.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> On another afternoon,
I will meet with students in the "Women in the Arts" course, at Geneva
College.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> I was the professor
who created this course and taught it before my retirement six years
ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> I will meet the class
in the gallery. My discussion will focus on three
aspects:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> historical
context of the work in the show;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> blindness issues and
art making;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> philisophical
influences, personal world view, and concepts that shape my
work. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The Second Show will be in a very
different kind of space. It will be in Jameson hospital, New
Castle, PA in a brand new wing that has been created for urgent
care. When the rchitects designed this place, they planned for
an exhibition space for artists that would bring in healing art. The
shows change every three months. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The show will be on display from April 14
- July 5th.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The format will be the same for the
opening reception, and the artist's demo mid-way into the show's
run.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>For both of these shows we will have
Braille labeling along with the regular wall text (thanks to the great
advice I just got from Ann! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> We will have a video
of the two artists - with their work in progress and showing time
lapse of the work being created to the finished product. For the
video we have written some very short essays and poems about art,
sight loss, and doing the work. In the background of the video,
you can hear the stories of the artists and the works. This way a
blind person can get insight into the work even when they cannot see
the work visually. They can not only experience the making of
the work, the finished pieces, but the thought process of the artist
during creation of the work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The video will run on a loop in the
gallery, and will also be playing on small screens in other places for
visitors to stop and have a look and listen to the
art/artists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>One of the venues I am brainstorming
with plans to have my ehxibition available to all patients in the
hospital (that is not yet built) via their TV screen. So even if they
are bed fast and cannot come into the gallery space, they can still
visit the show through technology. That is in the planning
stages but not for a year or two following completion of the
building. You know, 50 percent of all new construction of
Hospitals is including art galleries - this is a new way of thinking
about art, isn't it. People are recognizing that art has healing
powers, and that people who are sick and those who are discouraged can
be uplifted and even helped in the healing process through
experiencing art. </FONT></DIV>
