Up until 2008 Keith Salmon saw himself as an amateur artist. He had been on incapacity benefit since he was registered blind. His partner Anita continued to pay most of his bills - for materials, studio hire, and other expenses. Then Keith made a decision that was to change his life as a visual artist in a significant way.
