From the Artist…….Welcome! It’s exciting to return to the Dennis P. McHugh Piermont Public Library and exhibitsome of my work. This virtual exhibit of The Art Beyond A Syndrome includes selections of mypaintings, poetry and photography.

Art is a meaningful tool that I use for personal growth. It has allowed me to overcome obstacleswhile creating new opportunities. Born with Down Syndrome, art also provides me with a uniqueavenue for advocating for persons with disabilities. I enjoy working in acrylics as it offers mefluidity in blending colors. I find inspiration in so many places; the beaches of Cape Cod, theNY Botanical Gardens, walks along the Piermont Pier, daytrips to the many fascinating sites inNew York, or just watching the sun set behind the reservoir A camera is always at hand! Myphotographs provide me with ideas for paintings, as does my poetry; and vice a versa. Thesethree mediums work in tandem to create a whole vision, inviting the viewer to see manydimensions that make up the person I am, reflected in the collections of “The Art Beyond ASyndrome” books.
