Time flies, but gratitude is forever

July 31, 2019 By Rene

When my family launched this website for our son Jackson, he was still in middle school. He’s now entering his senior year of high school. Time flies doesn’t it? To date, Jackson has gained several accolades for his art: winning a VSA Artist of the Year award in 2018 and gaining professional gallery representation from […]

End of the Year Thoughts

May 31, 2018 By Rene

Well, friends, it’s the end of another school year. At this time of year, I always take stock of how far we’ve come and how much we still have to accomplish, Jackson and me, on his march to independence. We have three years left to achieve this before we are done with public school. All […]

On the path to being a working artist–Christmas Art Show

November 28, 2016 By Rene

A part of being a “big artist” and a working artist is to have art shows. To that end, Jackson was invited to show his work at a local salon and despite the amount of work this entails, we jumped at the chance to show off Jackson’s work. We are teaching Jackson about the skills […]

Entrepreneurism and Autism

June 12, 2016 By Rene

All day long, every day, Jackson is “working” on projects in his office. (His father and I created what we thought he would use as an art studio, but he quickly dubbed it, “My office.”) Most days, he goes to school or camp, pays attention as best he can, and yet as soon as he’s […]
