New Arts on the Move Logo!
VSA Orange County would like to recognize Josephine Hernandez, a visually impaired artist, who created the new logo for "Arts on the Move." The logo incorporates a wispy colorful sketch of a person in a wheel chair holding a paint brush above their head with colorful brush strokes of red, yellow and green around them. This graphic represents the "O" of the word "move," which is displayed in a brush stroke font in blue. Thank you, Joey for creating such a wonderful visual representation of what Arts on the Move is all about!

About the Artist: Born and raised in Southern California, Josephine "Joey" Hernandez is passionate about art, inclusivity, and disability pride. Her work has been featured in several local and international shows. Joey began losing her vision to a juvenile form of macular degeneration during her sophomore year of high school. Over the course of a couple of months, Joey went from average sight to partial blindness. Her vision is blurry and she constantly sees moving neon lights. Joey primarily creates pencil drawings and acrylic paintings on large canvases and sketchpads, but she has also dabbled in digital art. Joey is a senior at California State University, Fullerton double-majoring in Communications and American Studies. When she isn't painting, studying, or working Joey enjoys skateboarding with the help of her long white cane.
