Albert Schmiege

Albert D. Schmiege is a Wisconsin artist who has been legally blind since 1992, due to macular degeneration. Despite having no central vision, poor depth perception, and color blindness, Schmiege has been able to capture on canvas his interpretation of the world. He uses a combination of techniques, brush strokes, and color to create the illusion of detail and depth, usually working in oils. “I believe that blindness does not limit, but rather enhances the creative process.”
