Hi Susan,
Nice to meet you and I love the term De-lighted. I have to remember that one!

Hi everyone,
I am currently working in watercolor on canvas paintings but during my career which has spanned 42 years I have worked in a variety of media. In college I was primarily a sculptor and printmaker. I have illustrated books, learned stain-glass and taught it too and worked in acrylic as well.
Two years ago I lost the sight in my "good" eye but I can still see color and if I put my nose to the canvas or paper I can force my double vision to show me only two images everything and I pick one and try to draw and paint while trying to exclude noticing the other image. Naturally I can't do it for long before I get a headache and have to stop. Because I have severe nausea with motion, I have not been able to use a CCTV, but it is worth it to me to make art.
This past October, I chaired a round-table discussion of "Art Expression is a State of Mind" to the Nebraska Chapter of the NFB. I wanted to encourage creative people who just happen to be blind or visually impaired to push their creativeness into using alternative methods or different media. So it is nice to learn that there are other "de-lighted" (a name that my blind daughter uses to refer to blind persons) artists.
