MIS 34 – The Blind Painter
Update: 2016-03-12
Description
Profile
Name: John
Age: Old enough to know better
Occupation: Artist
Nationality: American
Bucket list: I had a bucket list when I was losing my sight – everything that I wanted to see before it went completely. Now, after that experience, instead of making a list when I want to do something; I try my best to just do it.
Motto: “What you love is who you are.”
Additional benefits: I love to listen. I enjoy trying to understand what a person is saying by putting myself in their place; I think this is why I love to include people I know and meet in my works – to understand them even more.
Biggest fear as a man: Letting down his family and close people.

Quotes
“Who would have thought that getting blind would be your big kick of getting into visual arts?”
“I used to use a cane… Now I don’t – that’s a great excuse to hold someone’s hand 
“
“I have to give Jackie (my wife)a little extra respect: I mean she did decide to marry a blind painter!”
“You have these feelings and the whole reason for art is to try to communicate them.”
“If you’re trying to talk about a relationship or about how people really feel then you need colour to express that”
“Art and love are quite synonymous. What really takes place ins in the mind and what you see doesn’t really matter… just like love.”
“My wife’s skin feels like a mix between civilian blue and titanium white mixed together – this electric blue”
