COMEDY FOR KIDS-for kids with autism

2011-03-07T21:37:00.000-08:00

At AUTISTRY STUDIOS, I took part in a one-day painting workshop with finel artist Joan Elan Davis. I chose to do a painting of the Bunny I had done a few years ago in colored pencil. the event was a fundraiser on September 11, 2010 to raise money for kids with autism. I was very lucky to have been a part of the workshop and event.

On March 5, 2011, Autistry Studios had an event where my new painting "Dragons In The Mist" was sold. I have been attending Autistry Studios for several years and I am enjoying learning the craft of illustration. The painting was created during a workshop taught by illustrator Robert Evans.>
The first photo is of the original colored pencil drawing of the dragon I created for "Dragon In The Mist".

Dry pastel is another favorite medium for me. I am enjoying the learning process.

I created this acrylic painting from the sketch of the bunny you can also see on this blog. Autistry Studios was kind enough to take this photograph before the painting was to be sold.

To those of you who don't know me, I am an artist. foremost & forever. I do not have really any of my writing to share at the moment. I would like to write something others can relate to,whether my prose are fit to publish or not.

I've changed my medium many times,but I believe the motive is the same: in order to connect to the other spirits out there who are wanting to create...I started this website in the hopes that at some point I could start making sense.
