“I picked this up expecting a standard cozy memoir about an artist’s life, but it is so much more than that. Neva has this warm, conversational writing style that makes you feel like you’re sitting across from her having coffee. Her journey from a sickly kid daydreaming in Nevada to selling real estate, and then completely reinventing herself in her sixties, is so inspiring.”

Paula Hendricks

“What a lovely read. The Blind Artist is an impactful book about how childhood dreams can manifest in ways you never saw coming. It really makes you reflect on your own life choices and what it means to keep pivoting, no matter your age.”

“I couldn’t put this down. Neva’s story is proof that it is absolutely never too late to reinvent yourself. She writes with so much grace, wit, and a total lack of self-pity, even when discussing the scary reality of going blind as an artist. Highly recommend!”
