Braille artist Clarke Reynolds announced as Fight for Sight's newest ambassador

Fight for Sight is delighted to welcome Clarke Reynolds as its latest ambassador. Long term supporter of the charity, Clarke is a visual artist, using Braille as his artistic language.

Clarke is registered severely sighted but also a visual artist. He aims to bring Braille into the 21st century through workshops, exhibitions and public art, and to be a role model for people of all ages with visually impairment. 

Clarke accepted the invitation to become the charity's latest ambassador without a moment of hesitation: "Fight for Sight has been there at the very start of my career, in fact if it wasn’t for them I don’t believe I would be getting the exposure I am today." 

In May 2022 Clarke created a series of centrepiece artworks for our See My Skills gala. One of the guests at the gala was a gallery owner, and as Clarke says: "The rest is history." 

"The connection and friendship built up over the years has been a special one. Supporting my exhibitions and the crazy stuff I get up to as an artist. And now it’s official I’m going to be an ambassador, which will cement the relationship further as I break down the stigma attached to sight loss in the visual arts.

I don’t think words can really show how special this is for someone like me. Here’s to smashing down those walls." 

"With each dot I’m changing how we perceive a person with visual impairment in the visual creative industry."
