Jo Ann Sheehan Photograph"I remember when I heard about you doing Facial Visions back in September, 2005. I got an e-mail message from Donna and ray rakita telling me about getting my picture taken by you. I thought to myself why do I want to get my picture taken when I can't see it? So I called you and you told me that
you had a dream that you wanted blind persons/persons to feel how they look!! What an experience for a blind person to feel what they looked like!! So I had you come to my house and take some snapshots of my leader dog Misty and me. What a good feeling it was to feel how I looked and my dog!!!"

"It was a real experience for me to know that someone wanted to
helped a sight impaired person/persons. This can open many doors for those
who cannot be able to go to art galleries and having persons describe,
instead a sighted person can be independent and do it themselves..."
