In January of 2013, Russell lost 100% of his vision due to macular degeneration and was declared legally blind. After consulting with physicians, on March 29th 2013, he chose to undergo experimental procedures which allowed him to regain 10-15% vision in one eye. It was during this dark time that Carter picked up a brush and painted his first post-blindness piece. Although he had no reason to believe this endeavor to persevere could be a success, he sold the painting within one week. Soon his efforts blossomed and his works began to get recognition throughout the art world. Armed with a seed of belief that further medical study would help future fellow sufferers, he continues painful treatments to this day.
We would like to invite you to celebrate not only in his success, but also being able to purchase either the prints or the originals if you choose. Each will be signed by the artist and shipped to you.
