We have all probably wanted to turn a hobby into our main focus of life but perhaps being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa would not be the trigger to do so, well for Adrian Paternoster from Buckinghamshire it has definitely done so and in many ways turned his life around too.
After diagnosis with retinitis pigmentosa Adrian turn his hobby, painting into the main focus of his life .
Adrian has been donating his completed canvases to the general public in Buckinghamshire by leaving them in prominent places in towns and other locations to give joy to others and through his work, Adrian hopes to show other people 'you can make the impossible into the possible'.
Adrian also dreams of one day having his work hanging on the walls of Tate alongside well-known British Artists.
