The journey of my life began in 1989 when I was born deaf. As a young child, I was always free spirited and never worried about a thing. Being hearing impaired meant that I was not faced with many of the daily struggles other children witnessed their parents going through.
I never let my disability hold me back. In fact, the older I became, the more I realized that being deaf is what has shaped me into the artist that I am today. By being deaf, my visual senses are heightened, and I have learned to become more aware of my surroundings.
As a result, I observe and watch everything in sight carefully. It is through this careful observation of my surroundings that has allowed me to understand what is going on in everyday life. God created me this way because he wanted me to see how beautiful this world is with my eyes and to understand what others may tend to miss out on. To my friends and family, I am no different from anyone else; however, in reality deaf people live in an entirely different world that only we can understand. While the world we live in may be more challenging, it is no doubt a blessing.
For as long as I can remember, art has been my passion, but I decided to take a different route in college. In December of 2011, I graduated with a degree in Finance. It was not long after graduation that I realized my heart was not in Finance but rather in art. In the summer 2012, I began pursuing my degree in Studio Art with my ultimate goal to become an Art Educator. I have a strong faith and want to accomplish all that I can before I go to Heaven. The older I become the more I have realized that it is time to settle down. Therefore, I decided to settle down as an artist. I knew this was the best choice for me the moment I felt it in my heart, and this is where God wants me to be in this crazy world. ̴ Brittany Huber
