A woman with long brown hair and glasses sits smiling in a woven armchair, wearing a black “I AM SOMEONE RARE” t-shirt with a zebra-print awareness ribbon and blue jeans. She has tattoos on her left arm, several bracelets, rings, and a smartwatch. Beside her is a white cane leaning against the wall, a cork-and-black trucker cap with an “I love you” ASL hand sign on it alongside a signature, and a wood slice sign that is wood burned with “I AM RARE” and a zebra illustration, near a small potted tree. She’s in a room with light colored walls and green potted plants.

In August 2026, Krista Webb, a deafblind advocate and artist living with Usher syndrome, will embark on a journey across the United States and Canada. She will document eight blind and deafblind artists, each working in a unique medium including woodburning, acrylic painting, pottery, alcohol ink, illustrator, mixed media, woodworking, and tattooing. In addition, Krista will participate in a live glassblowing event, trying the art form for the first time. Through real-time filmed interviews and live art creation, Krista will capture each artist’s process, personal story, and journey with vision loss, sharing short-form social media content including a unique giveaway from each artist along the way.

The project will culminate in a series of artist spotlights and a full-length documentary, weaving together intimate conversations about blindness, identity, and creativity. Together, these deliverables aim to empower the blind and low vision community to explore their own creative potential and see art as an accessible and meaningful part of life.
