My Heart Series
 Like so much about life with autism, little is understood of the feelings of those with autism.
 I’ve done a series of paintings to depict some of the emotions individuals with autism possess.

Art is an important part of my life.    From the time I was a little kid I’ve loved animation and cartoons. I’ve always liked doing things with art. My first kindergarten teacher says I was the “artist” of her class, that she knew even then that I was going to be an artist when I got older. I decided when I was about nine years old that I wanted to become a professional cartoonist.

After I finished high school, I developed a cartoon called “It’s That Time of the Year.” I’ve always been interested in cartooning and in historical dates, and this cartoon series combines both of those interests. Here are two examples:    After I finish art school, I hope to get “It’s That Time of the Year” syndicated in newspapers. I also enjoy painting. I enjoy drawing, too. I take a small sketchbook with me wherever I go.
