My justly realistic goals for my painting career are to make people happy when they see my art work and to earn money because I want to be able to pay for my financial needs and be less dependent on others. My other area of interest is that I greatly hope to make new friends, and I would like to meet the true love of my life very much so I can build my future with a loving companion. Frankly, life is only worth living if you have friends. Nothing comes easy in life. Believe in your dreams.

Truly, I want what I paint to make people think about the meaning in color and think about what colors represent about themselves. I will explain from my perspective that I very much have had this gift of synesthesia, but I did not say anything because I believed that everyone greatly had this talent. Truly, for me I use the word auras or colors when describing my dreams, but I am reading the colors of people’s emotions. You are the product of your parents and a product of your environment and the reaction you have to both. COLLECT PEZ? KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES? LOOKING FOR THAT PERFECT GIFT? SEARCH NO FURTHER. I just want to say that my autism and sensory motor challenges are why I am more sensitive—giving me this gift. But only because my nice mom found a way to teach me to communicate was I dearly able to tell others what I saw. I truly believe that we must give people a way to communicate. Truly, there may be more gifted artists. We nonverbal people with sensory motor challenges need assistance to discover our talents. 54 ZOOM Autism through Many Lenses WWW.BEANEDESIGN.COM/ETSY ZOOM Autism through Many Lenses 55
