ABOUT

Growing up with a sibling with autism and ADHD showed me how important it is for children with special needs to have creative outlets and social opportunities! During COVID in 2021, I founded Special Art with a group of a friends as a program where young artists can learn, communicate, and have fun in a supportive environment. Through Special Art, I hope to make art more accessible while helping families build community.
