Josephine Hernandez is a Garden Grove–based, partially blind visual artist whose work explores themes of blindness and visual impairment through an intimate and empowering lens.

Working primarily with acrylic and acrylic gouache, Hernandez challenges conventional narratives that often frame disability in terms of limitation. 

A recurring subject in her paintings is blind skateboarders—figures in motion that embody independence, confidence, and self-determination. Through these dynamic compositions, Hernandez reimagines the visual language surrounding blindness, portraying blind and low-vision individuals as active, capable leaders of their own lives. 

Her work invites viewers to question assumptions and engage with a broader, more nuanced understanding of ability and identity.
