Exploring the natural world feeds my artistic vision. Even though my actual vision is limited, I see in my mind’s eye and connect to my hand’s movement to express that vision with bold colors, texture and expressive strokes. When we observe the world around us, what we see is light reflecting on objects, shapes and textures. Light is vital, powerful, but art does exist without light. As the light fades from my eyes, let art by my reflection.

My photo “Sam in Snow Glaucoma and AMD View” is my artistic answer to the question: “What can you see?”  It portrays the effects of losing peripheral vision when I view a scene.
