“I am an artist, poet, and advocate living with Neuromyelitis Optica, a rare autoimmune disease affecting my optic nerves and spinal cord. I paint both using my eyes through eye gaze technology and also my mouth holding the pen or brush, mixing both digital and traditional mediums. Most recently, I use MouthPad technology, turning my tongue into my brush and the roof of my mouth a trackpad.” -Connie Sales
