When I was growing up, I was one of those art geeks who went to museums for fun, was always drawing in the margins of my class notes, and took requests
from other kids to draw horses, unicorns, mad scientists, and various monsters.
After I went blind, finding new ways to be creative became something of an obsession. I learned to sew. I learned to tie-dye. I'm always searching for tactile
art, which can include anything from found object sculpture to costumes to textile arts.
