With clay dug from the ground, James created the toys of his youth, firing them in the kiln used to make bricks for the family farm. Using paint leftover from the household and barn he completed these early “works of art”. An inquisitive child, the question “What?’ was James’ mantra throughout the days of his childhood. Being blessed with a natural curiosity about all things of meaning around him, this internal question eventually turned to “How?” as he grew in to adulthood. Today, having spent a lifetime as a devoted husband, father and grandfather the burning question of his life has become, like many men his age, “Why?” With the creative urge of his youth, having once again surfaced, James has begun working with his hands in the creation of art pieces.

Description:	James Kessinger Originals
	James has had to more or less internally create the images that he “sees” for quite some time. In essence he has painted for the better part of the past 30 years albeit in his mind. For in 1972 due to the onset of macular degeneration, he began to slowly lose his sight and has been legally blind since 1978. He now views the world primarily through a 1” round glass monocle visually distinguishing only what he can place within an inch or less of his “looking glass”. None the less he “sees” as well as he ever did according to his way of thinking.
