[NFBOH-Cleveland] [Ohio-talk] Information about a panel discussion of Art and people with disabilities

[Ali Benmerzouga]

Hi Owen,

Thanks a lot for sharing with us the information about your discussion panel and for inviting us! I will try my best to be there!

I know I don't have to tell you this, please take it as a friendly reminder. I know you are well aware of who you are and what you do represent and defend!
Since your flyer contains the name of our NFB President, Mark Riccobono, please don't forget, and if it is possible, to let them know about our great NFB and its big role and contributions in the communities, cities, states and the National level. If possible, take some flyers with you. You can get some flyers from our Cleveland Chapter President, Suzanne Turner or our Secretary Cheryl Fields. We greatly appreciate that from you!

All the best!

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 Owen McCafferty of Rocky River, Ohio is an inspiring up and coming artist who has been painting for over a year now under the direction of Joann Depolo at her art gallery and studios  in N. Olmstead, Ohio. His textural artwork of " Journey Down the River" was recently one of 75 art pieces accepted for the VSA Ohio 2015 Accessible Expressions Ohio tour and then later donated as a gift to NFB president Marc Riccobono at the 2018 National NFB Convention in Orlando. Owen has always had an interest in art as far back as elementary school and the Ohio State School for the Blind. He has an associate's degree in graphic arts from Cuyahoga Community College. He has been inspired by other visually impaired artists such as John Bramblitt and Jeffery Hanson.
