To Autism NetVerse @ Johns Hopkins University site where Gene's art is also being presented.
Gene has never taken an art class.  When these pictures were done, he had only just learned how to hold a writing implement, and drawing immediately became an avenue for relaxation & expression for him. I really don't know the dates or sequence of these pix; one day was I cleaning his room & found close to 100 drawings jammed in his desk.  I just picked some that weren't crunched too badly & I liked.
2003: Gene does enjoy Pappyland, a children's art-based program (that is now off-the-air, but have some videos available).  I am hoping that one day we will find an art instructor that works with these talented, yet disabled, kids so that he may reach his potential.
To Artism: Art By Those With Autism a book that is just now being printed where Gene's art is being published!!!!
