6) Thank you to Trent’s Fans
Thank you for your interest in Trent’s artwork and his shows.
7) A Personal Note: The arts: painting, drawing, dancing, playing an instrument, etc. has tremendous impact on fulfilling the lives of people with ASD. I see it personally with Trent and in my work with families and their sons and daughters.
These quotes have special meaning in understanding a little more about artists who have autism.
“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.”
Edward Hopper
“Color is one of the great things in the world that makes life worth living to me and as I have come to think of painting it is my effort to create an equivalent with paint color for the world – life as I see it.” Georgia O’Keefe
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
Edgar Degas
