Jeff Hanson is an young artist featured in an article by Debra Skodack for the Kansas City Star.He started painting and selling notecards, some of which "from his own driveway". International rock star, Elton John has even taken an interest in Jeff's art and asked him to paint pictures for his AIDS Foundation “cluster homes” in South Africa where "pregnant HIV-positive women receive medicine so their children will be born HIV-free".
While this could just be a story about an artist being discovered by a rock star and introduced to the world stage, it is much more.
Jeff is only 14 years old, has learning disabilities and is legally blind. He sees spots within his field of vision ... but his art must come through!
What's holding you back from fully engaging in your art? What are you using as an excuse?
What if you could find a few minutes a day? What could you create?
