Diagnosed with autism as a very young child, Chwast, now 25, rarely speaks but has found his voice through painting. With his innate ability to mix colors and reflect the world around him, Chwast has garnered national and international attention. His work has been exhibited at University Hospital of Case Western Reserve University and at the Cleveland Clinic, in New York City and in the Galapagos Islands and Cayman Islands. Bursting with color, his art conveys his contagious sense of joy, happiness and beauty, and his story inspires.
