Tammy is a legally blind fine art photographer, finger painter, and writer who lives in Kentucky, USA. Many of her photos have been published in international publications — and due to her unique perspective and talent, have garnered much attention.

Tammy and I discuss some of the obvious questions regarding the challenges a legally blind photographer faces, her motivations, and more. She’s a delightfully down-to-Earth person who, despite adversity has managed to find the light.

Check out the gallery below for a look at Tammy’s work. And be sure to head over to her gallery on DeviantArt.com to see more of her work.
