What I See Is What You Get
This is a series I painted of what I see.
The first painting is when my eyes are open and I have a visual migraine.
(I don’t get a head ache but I see bright sig-sags)
The next one is a self-portrait showing what I see when my right eye is covered.
(I have some permanent vision loss from a small stroke)
Next painting is my visual migraine with my eyes closed.
The last three are with my eyes closed, and the lights on, eyes closed looking at the sun, and eyes close with the lights out.
(all are acrylic on canvus 2009)

Kali life has taken many turns. She’s gone from life with a learning disability, to being the Canadian Industrial sales rep of the year (1989), for J.P. Coats Thread Manufacture. She married at age 33, which was
followed by 10 years of coping with Ulcerative Colitis and it's many complications, and after undergoing 6 major surgeries, including open heart surgery (aortic valve replacement) and the birth of a 1 lb 11 once baby girl in the same year, to being reasonably healthy again. Her aortic valve (a pig valve) is now 18 years old. These valves normally need to be replaced in 7 to 15 years. She is beating the odds!
In her late 40’s she found help for her learning disability through Tomatis music therapy, www.soundtherapysystems.com This opened up the world of art and words to her. The therapy changed how she processes the
information coming through her ears to her brain. It changed her perception of things, which has improved her reading, spelling, and organization skills, but most exciting to her, she can now draw and paint what she sees.
Kali is a member of Art Focus and Port Moody art clubs and through her art she is hoping to reach out to others with audio processing disorders such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and also the elderly.
