The world of the arts is colorful. And within this world are many artists, themselves colorful and interesting personalities, who use their talents to make a positive impact on others.
Jeff Hanson is one of these artists. Based in Overland Park, Kansas, Jeff is visually impaired from an optic nerve tumor caused by neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder. The tumor caused severe vision loss in 2005, but that didn’t stop him from creating wonderful artworks.

Despite his vision loss, Jeff has succeeded in making a name for himself as a painter, with about 1,400 paintings in his portfolio and patrons that include celebrities Elton John, Warren Buffett, and Susan Sarandon. This success enabled him to reach out to lots of people through philanthropy. At the young age of 21, he has already donated one million dollars to over 100 charities worldwide, including the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Children’s Tumor Foundation.
