I use color and gestural movement to visually play, creating vibrant abstract impasto paintings that connect with the general human subconscious. These paintings have many rainbows to get lost in, and making them helps me self-regulate as an autistic person, connect with others, and brings me joy. The details are as beautiful as the whole.
