artFloraFriends, asking for accounts on Mastodon or organizations that are about low vision resources. I am losing my sight (not from macular degeneration) and want to connect with others like me. It's pretty devastating for someone who's been an artist and photographer all my life, but accessibillity options are greatly improving. Currently using Zoom, Magnify and VoiceOver on the iphone. Looking for connection and inspiration and your well wishes too! #lowvision #accessibility
Christine Malec@artfloral Hi, I'm Blind, and work in the arts. I'm a musician myself but do consulting work to help make dance, other visual arts, and astronomy more accessible. You're going through a dramatic change but I hope that along the way you'll find some unexpected richness.
Keri Svendsen@artfloral @ChristineMalec I don't do art much anymore, but I am totally blind. I lost my vision when I was 7. I've worked with clay and painting sense then. Happy to always help with tips, tricks, and resources if I ever can! <3 Always lovely to connect to the artist community.
