Talented Blind Artist James Kessinger

Learning a new talent late in life can sometimes be a challenge. Couple that with having limited vision, and you can imagine how difficult learning that new talent and being successful at it would be.  Well, this is exactly what James Kessinger did.  He took up painting later in life, and did so, despite the fact that his vision was almost non existent. The thought of losing your eye sight might seem like the end of the world, especially if you are a visual artist.

Talented blind painter James Kessinger proves otherwise with his breathtakingly beautiful and very colorful works of art.
James Kessinger came up with a way to paint with his very limited sight. Determining the placement on canvas and then picking the colors he wants, he creates brilliant works of art. Over time he has developed many methods to perfect his system and the results are amazing abstract works of art.


Most blind artists can decipher the difference between sunlight and darkness. They often cannot tell the difference between the texture colors using his sight, and so they create a system to address this.

Interestingly, subjects who lose vision later in life—called the later blind—frequently interpret raised outlines more readily than either sighted or early blind individuals do, according to Morton Heller of Winston-Salem University. One likely explanation is that the later blind have a double advantage in these tasks: they are typically more familiar with pictures than are the early blind, and they have much better tactile skills than do the sighted. Blind artists are therefore able to paint with the same skill set as the sighted painter.  From the studies undertaken with artists who are blind and have lost their sight later in life, it is clear that blind people and blind artists, like James Kesinger can appreciate the use of outlines and perspective to describe the arrangement of objects and other surfaces in space
