Grace Juchau is a 15-year-old autistic young lady who recently discovered the joy of painting. Grace’s verbal communication is limited, but she expresses beautiful things through her paintings. Before she began painting in 2014, her parents doubted that she would be interested in it. However, at the encouragement of her art teacher, she continued to attend the art studio in Edmonds and her previously hidden art talents began to unfold and become very evident. Grace enjoys her painting sessions, smiling more than usual. She currently participates in the NW Special Artists’ Open Studio and has exhibited her work at the ArtWorks Gallery in Edmonds, WA.
