About Lori Royce (Artist’s Statement written by Lori): “It all begins with witnessing a stunning scene. Maybe I want to use my acrylics to paint the ocean shining like jewels; or use my soft pastels to draw the sky striking the balance between pale & vibrant colors. Grabbing my paintbrush while inhaling the pure intoxicating scent of the sun, sand & sea. Whatever I desire, whenever I’m intrigued, wherever I am, I capture that sparkling image that we call the phenomenon of Mother Nature onto canvas.”

“Painting outside on the beach at the water’s edge invigorates my soul. I’ll always be an Artist. I breathe easier when I create. I feel healthier when I create. The powerful spirit of my artwork communicating with you the viewer; enhancing your life the way that art and being alive & happy enhances mine. Find your spirit! That is what life is all about.”

About Artist with Autism: In May 2012, Artists With Autism, Inc was founded as a not for profit based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They help individuals with autism have meaningful lives with purpose, by focusing on their talents and abilities and helping them build a business around those talents. They believe supported self-employment is a very viable alternative for paid employment. They offer opportunities for emerging and aspiring artists with autism to be recognized for their talent and not defined by their circumstances. By focusing on the abilities of those with autism spectrum, Artists With Autism Inc has managed to create a social venture that is not only providing an income for those individuals who have not been able to gain traditional employment, but is also making an impact in the community by dismissing many of the myths about autism.
