On display through Sept 15, 2011
The current artwork on display was created by the following artists during individual art sessions through ArtShop, offering art instruction for children and adults with disabilities.
Kari Wagner
"Although my disability prevents me from using conventional ways to express myself, it has provided me with the courage to explore new areas of creativity I never even imagined."
Shane
Shane is 10 years old and was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. However from the time he could first hold a crayon at 10 months, his passion was drawing. By the time he was 3, he was replicating all of the pictures from Blues Clues with drawings seemingly beyond his age. By age 4, he was drawing the characters from Veggie Tales. He still continues to spend the majority of his free time drawing and sketching. It provides not only recreation, but it is also a form of therapy for Shane. Drawing calms him, and he often needs his “art time” at school to help him focus before a more difficult task such as a test.
