Andrew Weatherly finds Art to be an integral tool in personal and social development. His pieces offer viewers a closer look, as well as a glimpse into his mind and interpretations. Weatherly was born with Down Syndrome, and sees Art as a way to represent and advocate for the disabled community. As a painter, poet, and photographer, the artist utilizes various media as platforms for self-expression, shedding light on barriers and his own individual perspective. His 24" x 30" acrylic on canvas piece, Purple Mountain Majesties, is a striking example of this.
