Oh my! Where could I begin for the beautiful month of May! As many of you already know I am legally blind. I have a condition called Glaucoma, and when I was a young girl the doctors were not certain what to do about the pressure in my eyes. I ended up losing all my peripheral vision over the years and years it has been progressing worse. This has never stopped me from working towards my dreams as I believe I can do anything a sighted person could, just in my own special way.
I had to take a little bit of a break from querying this week as I could not see the screen no matter what I tried. My light sensitivity has often made using technology a bit of a challenge so I've learned to use it without the need of my sight. Drawing is one of the biggest challenges for me so soon I will be transitioning back to paper so I can feel the marks made into the paper and stop the guesswork of how my digital drawings actually look.
This was my art in my young teen years;
It would be wonderful to be paired with an agent who can find an artist to replicate my style, as I hold it dearly to me. I feel it is a badge of what I have accomplished as a legally blind woman. I am confident that with advances in technology there will someday be a way to reserve blindness, now that would really be a dream come true.
