Joe Harris, who has been fond of drawing since his birth in 1946, feared he would never be able to draw again after a drive-by shooting in 1973 left him without his sight. In 1989 Harris discovered a way to express his creativity by using the dry medium of Crayola. He used Crayola because he could touch and feel the composition as he created it. Over the past seven years he has produced more than 70 works of art. It will be sponsored by the Student National Medical Association.
