I Love My Brother

I am an artist, motion designer, autism advocate, and Ringling Alum. I have an older brother who has low-verbal autism. Formulation of language is a challenge, which often results in "Anthonyisms." I love my brother. ♥

Treasure Hunt. There was NO WAY Anthony was leaving without that Dick Tracy thermometer! I had to. 😁

I love my brother. 💙

Missing Dad. Anthony still asks. Keeping my promise to make it good. Happy Father's Day. 💙

1 Year Ago. Our most ambitious sibling adventure. The New York Philharmonic playing the music of John Williams. Mom said it was her favorite birthday & Mother's Day gift ever that we could do this. Anthony loved it. I'd love to take him again.

I love my brother. 💙

World Autism Awareness Day. I got an interactive keyboard for a project, and knew Anthony would want one, too. I surprised him with one, just like our childhood Casio. His smile says it all. 🎹

I love my brother. 💙

Snowed in. We had to pick these up before the blizzard! All Anthony wanted were his GF vanilla glaze. Main Street Donuts made them extra special. They're perfect! Happy Birthday Anthony! 💙🍩☃️🎂
