My daughter, Naomi, was diagnosed with autism when she was 5 years old. She’s always loved art and she would keep busy sketching for hours on end until some harsh criticism stopped her from doing what she loves. I was heartbroken to see this love of hers squashed, so I decided to start Renewing the Renaissance® as a way to support, both financially and spiritually, artists on the autistic spectrum.
