The Ending Before the Beginning

I have successfully avoided this for the last eight years. Some stories beg to be told but for my own the storyteller rebelled. As a writer and editor I could identify "story": I knew it when I lived it, but I didn't want to tell it. I walked away from wordsmithery. As we scrapped up the dot com carnage in 2000 my world faded in a white-glow blur of blindness.

I can still see a little. 90% of all blind people can see something, just not enough to get by without a lot of workarounds. My vision deteriorated over my late 30s. At 40 I was white-cane-swingin' blind.

I picked up a paint brush. My life changed.

What's Art of Possibility Studios all about?

Art of Possibility Studios is the only art publishing and licensing agency exclusively representing physically disabled artists. Founded by award-winning blind painter Ketra Oberlander, Art of Possibility Studios locates and develops art and artists with the unique mission of sharing their work and stories with others to uplift and encourage people regardless of their circumstances.

Art of Possibility Studios provides beautiful imagery on its luxury giftware and via license for select manufacturers interested in socially conscious and cause oriented product lines. Because the work originates from creators who all have significant physical impairment consumers become more than just purchasers — they become true patrons of the arts.
