Item Description

About This Piece: This vibrant acrylic painting is an original that has been generously donated by the artist, Brian Rusconi, a member of the AANE Artist's Collaborative. The painting alone measures 37.5" wide by 28" tall. The included frame expands the total dimensions to 42.5" W x 33.5" H.

About This Artist: Brian Rusconi has received many art awards since he began painting with his grandmother at the age of 7. People are often surprised to learn that Brian received very little formal art training. He prefers to use pastels, charcoal, oils, and acrylics.

About the AANE Artist's Collaborative: The AANE Artist's Collaborative consists of artists with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and related autism spectrum profiles. The collaborative creates an amazing opportunity for these artists to showcase and sell their work on a regular basis throughout the year. The Artist's Collaborative invites people to not only appreciate the mind-blowing artistic abilities of our members, but to also take advantage of the strikingly unique chance to see the world through their artwork, and therefore their eyes. Adults with AS often struggle with an inhibited ability to communicate verbally, but through their artwork, our artists are tapping into their rare, ingrained ability to communicate visually.
