Three Trees

Dietze is a visually impaired artist whose inspiration arises from nature’s different colors and seasons. He likes to paint outdoors, particularly scenes in his neighborhood and local parks. He prefers acrylics because they are fast drying. One challenge of his disability is not driving; he must walk or bike or get a ride with someone. This is difficult when he exhibits in shows that require his attendance, Dietze says. “Art Ability makes it possible to exhibit without worrying about getting there.”
