“Every child is an artist” – Pablo Picasso. Three and half year old nonverbal young artist Jude is expressing his sweet thoughts through every colorful and vibrant stroke of his brush onto the canvas. He has a basket of tools to paint with from whisk broom, scraps of wood trim, plastic egg shells, and sponges. This toddler artist is making the most of his art supply whenever he is in the mood to paint. His granny Ann Cutshall did a smart experiment while going through the process of exploring different therapies by putting the canvas and paint in front of him. Art and Jude gelled well together and in a matter of a short time, a passionate artist evolved to display his wonderful talent. We are proud of toddler Jude for his artistic talented creativity. Ann has answered on Jude's behalf.
