Client: Art Education for the Blind

I have collaborated with AEB since its inception in 1987, creating sound compositions and verbal descriptions that express visual style and the overall mood of artworks for people who are blind and visually impaired. I also produce the Art Beyond Sight consortium web site (www.artbeyondsight.org) and AEB’s web site New York Beyond Sight (www.nybeyondsight.org).
