Drew loves to draw, paint and create art - it’s a window into his unique mind

Drew, 20, is an asipiring artist. At age 2 1/2, Drew was diagnosed with autism. We all quickly discovered that drawing pictures was a way for him to express his unique view of the world. He’s also a visual learner. From simple line drawings, Drew’s work has matured to include sophisticated watercolor paintings of animals and a super cool series of acrylic paintings of birds and animals in unusual settings.

In Drew’s words, “Art is a big part of my life. I like to draw all the time. It makes me happy.”

All of the sales from Drew’s artwork are devoted to growing his art talents through private art lessons and college-level art classes. Thank you for supporting his education!

Asking Drew to talk about his art has been a great way for him to learn to talk to people in general. Autistic kids generally prefer to live in their own bubble. Talking about art has been a way for Drew to climb out of that bubble and share his thoughts with the rest of the world.
