• Thank you to ALL who took part in this amazing endeavor * Special thanks to Suzy & Sam

I’ve been really lucky to have co-admin’d the Sugar Art for Autism collaboration for Autism awareness. I made 2 pieces for this collab and this is the first one:
“Emotion Therapy”, a therapy-based piece using flashcards that show emotions – used to teach kids on the spectrum about facial expressions such as “happy” “sad” “mad” “excited” “silly” – I used black to reflect how parents feel when they receive the diagnosis for their child, when everything around them seems to stop and they think there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The rainbow-colored butterflies represent the hope that parents get from all kinds of therapies but mainly from the love, hard work and perseverance of every person who is involved in that child’s life. Things become bright and colorful again!

We’ve partnered with 2 worthy Charities who provide much needed support to those with Autism and their families. Please take a moment to click the links, learn more about them and if you can spare a donation – all the better! Thank you so much <3
