Using Art and Creativity to Engage and Encourage Autistic Children.
Welcome to On the Spectrum Art, art classes for Autistic children.
Art can be an effective way to communicate. Art can also fulfill sensory needs of children on the autism spectrum. Neurological differences in wiring can interfere with a child’s ability to learn basic skills such as reading and writing as well as advanced skills of organization, time management and memory.
About Us
Jackson and I
My son and I always drew together, ever since he was a baby. As he grew, his love for drawing grew as well. He has watched me over the years creating art for other people, as I am a professional artist. My son Trey (not on the spectrum) is quite the young artist at 13, also sits and draws with Jackson. I noticed he is at his true best when he is creating something. His love for art is parallel to mine. I'd like to share that love of art with you and your children as well. Teaching them, guiding them in a world full of art that could help them learn about themselves and find new way to express what they couldn't before. Self control and regulation, motor skills, interaction with others. All things art...I believe can help those on the spectrum.
Our mission, our goal...
Using art and creativity to engage and encourage Autistic children. Helping them develop a skill that in turn will help them build social, motor and life skills.

Current Events
Now offering online Learning
I have had a huge response of people who wanted to sign up for my drawing classes. In lieu of what is going on these days, who would be interested in doing "home school" drawing classes live in your home? I'm thinking of using ZOOM to do live classes. Now to add to this idea, I would be lowering prices and changing the classes to 1/2 to 40 min long and making them 6 total classes. we can also specialize these classes to reflect what you child specifically like to draw with lessons built in that they can use for any drawings.
How to get started
Once you contact us and decide what class your interested in. We will discuss your child, their skill level and what needs they have. While some classes are designed for a group setting, some may need one on one. We will try to accommodate everyone's needs if possible. You can scroll down to our Download section.
