Wil has Autism, a neurological condition that challenges his ability to learn and communicate in usual ways. Nonetheless, Wil has discovered a unique expressive language in his paper cutouts. With vividly colored papers and scissors in hand, Wil's creative passion transcends his disability allowing him to share intriguing emotional and intellectual perspectives. Art is a great socializer and communicator on its own; the limitless ability it gives Wil to connect with his world and people brings him immense joy. Wil's Artistic Impressions will make you smile!
