 My approach is unorthodox – I use the bottom of the paintbrush, my fingers, an ink spout, and all this because I’m trying to make my blindness work for me. My blindness, in a sense, gives me the originality. When painting, I’ll strain my eye to see, until the reality of being partially blind registers. I then rely on instinct, sloshing colors between thick lines, moving the medium along the path to completion.
