[Nfb-krafters-korner] Introducing myself

[River Woman]

Hello Jo An, Artist
So very NICE to meet you. Your story is so much like mine I am amazed. I, 
too, am an artist, was a professor of fine arts and humanities, and lost my 
sight four years ago.  I was a painter/printmaker/weaver prior to sight 
loss, and I have turned my art life around since sight loss and now I do 
pottery and encrusted bead weaving. Just this past year, I have once again 
been able to get the skill level up to be able to once again participate in 
juried art exhibitions and had my first one person exhibition (since sight 
loss) just last September - what a thrill to once again be in the "show 
business."  The real ME is back, but altered into a newer version of the 
real me. haha
You will love this group of very talented, smart, and fun people. Glad to 
meet you.

Lynda River Woman, Artist
