Greetings everyone, I made this website to hopefully inspire and promote awareness to a wider audience that sight loss isn't an end of a chapter, but a beginning of hidden meaning either that is a passion or talent. After being registered with a genetic sight condition RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa) that overtime destroys the remaining cells in the retina that allows light in, faced with an uncurable condition and a ticking clock. I wanted to make a difference with the time I have, follow my passion of art, adapting my methods accordingly, as my sight continues to decline and how that it is possible and above all, share joy in communities in a world that is full of uncertainty and fast pace. So this is why Leave my art to the public to find, everyone deserves to smile, even for a moment or believe that anything is achievable. That is why I call myself just be youu, I help a leading charity (RetinaUK) that is putting research to hopefully find a cure for RP to understand it more for our future children's lifetime. I donate all money from bespoke pieces of art to the charity to achieve this. The charity is a family unit for people who live and struggle with RP and without their aid with counseling, I wouldn't be here today. They save lives and I'm forever grateful. This is my story
