For Andrew Weatherly, art is a meaningful tool for personal and social growth. His work invites the viewers in for closer inspection. Weatherly, born with Down Syndrome, maintains that artwork is a tool he uses to advocate for people with disabilities.
Painter, poet and photographer, the artist chooses media that offer him the extraordinary avenues for self - expression, as well as, the ability to navigate compelling barriers while sharing his own insight and perspective with the viewers. |
