The Artist Who Lost Her Sight

I don't know the Toronto artist behind Kaotic Ekkos Curiosities personally, but we have brushed shoulders and exchanged pleasantries at local shows in the city.

Just recently she launched a new website - http://theartistwholosthersightliterally.blogspot.com - that reveals her sudden fight with Pseudotumor Ceribri.

Simply put, her body has produced too much spinal fluid. This causes pain and loss of eyesight. She's been using a magnification application in order to post online.

I can't imagine what it would be like to suddenly have my world go dark and not be able to create my art.

So what can you do? You can read her story and offer support in the form of comments. Or you can donate a bit of money.

Or maybe you can blog about her.

You could also go to her online store Kaotic Ekkos Curiosities where she still has some items left over for sale.

There's talk of a possible fundraiser as well. Will keep you posted if that materializes.
