[accessibleimage] Norwegian artist

Hi,
Magna Jenssen is an artist who is blind.
Here is a link to a radio program that will be about her June 5 7:03 AM in
Norway with pictures of some of her work.
The program is in Norwegian, not sure if the radio is on the nett will
check this out for those of you wanting to learn a bit of Norwegian

quick translation of a bit of the article

Blind Artist
With no remaining sight Magna Jenssen today paints figurative pictures and
she has had several separate exhibitions. She loves to sit at her easel 
and beside her she has an assistant who helps her mix her colors by her
instructions.

When she was 28 she became blind as a complication to diabetes. ....
The most extraordinary was that one day that Magna Jenssen by mistake came
into a art exhibition and found that she could sense colors. They felt
like vibrations under her hands and gave hot and cold feelings depending
upon which color she felt......

Best,
Lisa
