2017 VSA UBUNTU Yo Soy ...Je Suis.. I Am.... Because You Are

Artist Statement

i believe that is my right to attend high school.

i see myself as a person though i have disability.

i found my life has a purpose. i wonder why i was born with autism.

i am who i am and that is what god intended. i am one of you and i speak through my art my writing though i can not talk like normal people. i know i have a voice. i am here because of my teachers my therapists and my friends. i am here because of kindness got me here. that i should pay it forward to the people i love. i am not that incapable.

i paint this painting for submission to this art exhibition.
