Justin White
Justin White was born in Englewood, a tough neighborhood in Chicago, known for its high crime rate and poverty. Despite the challenges, Justin was determined to pursue his passion for art. He was born with a genetic eye condition called Keratoconus, which caused his corneas to thin and bulge, resulting in severe vision loss. By the time he was in his mid-teens, Justin was legally blind. Justin’s art is a reflection of his life experiences, the struggles he has to overcome, and the beauty he sees in the world. He has become a role model and inspiration for aspiring artists and people with disabilities everywhere. Justin’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of following your dreams, no matter the obstacles that stand in your way.
