Summary/Artist's Statement
Art can offer autistic children a way to express emotion and personal experience. "The Creatives Lounge" is a programmed and customized interactive art experience for the autisic child. Educators in the space will collaborate with children in a flexible environment that can adapt to their needs. There will be multiple opportunities for creative play and thinking, including arts and crafts, dancing, finger painting, obstacle courses, and more. The variety of experiences will accommodate diversity among the children and will meet varying needs. Seeing this project come together has been very rewarding and satisfying for me. Beyond FIT, I'm interested in opportunities that will allow me to work with my hands and create experiential environments. I also enjoy graphic design, window design, and branding.
