Being an artist suddenly became my solace instead of my career goal when my second child, Sabrina, was diagnosed with a pervasive developmental delay that in later years turned into a diagnosis of severe Autism. Through medical testing, even more problems were uncovered. Although I made these pieces as an outlet, they unexpectedly became a bridge to communication with her as she began to type and eventually compose her own poetry to go with my artwork.

This book represents 36 of around 200 pieces of artwork that Sabrina is still writing poems for.
