Tulip Time (2025)
by Robyn Burdick
About the artist
I'm Robyn, she/her, and I am a happily married lesbian with ADHD that I've only recently been given tools to manage. I've been drawing ever since I can remember. In school, doodling while in classes and lectures was the only way I could absorb any information successfully. Today, due to the power of ADHD, I collect hobbies and artistic mediums like Pokémon cards, but have spent the past few years focusing mainly on watercolor art mostly based on Skagit County. Watercolor provides a freedom of expression for me since it's so difficult to nail down anything realistically, so why try? Why not let it be fun interpretive art instead? The paint can be unpredictable and I like taking advantage of that. There are lots of Happy Accidents in my pieces, as Bob Ross would call them, and it's helped me not feel so ashamed in my mistakes. They can be beautiful too!
Warm Triangles (2025)
by Jill Taylor
About the artist
I’m Jill (she/her), and I was diagnosed with autism later in life. I’m aligned with the LGBTQIA+, chronic illness, and disability communities. Much of my experience has been invisible, internal, and hard to explain. Making connections with people can be challenging for me, and I use art—especially mindful doodling—as a grounding practice that helps slow my thoughts and keep me present. I have a background in photography, loom knitting, and crocheting. Creating isn’t about perfection for me—it’s about staying connected to myself and to whatever I’m making.
Best Friend (2023)
by Addison Hood
About the artist
My name is Addison Hood. I am a 26 year old Autistic ADHD-er from Eastern Washington. Creativity has been a big outlet for my entire life, from writing, to music, to art. Throughout school and college, I spent as much time as I could thriving in the art room and continue to practice various art endeavors in my free time. My mission is to evoke emotion through my art. Mainly, positivity, joy, and love. I hope to give folx some insight not only into the things that I love, but also about the potential glimmers in their life.
Arcanum Ad Hominem Poster (2026)
by Lana Wagner
About the artist
I do a lot of character based work, whether drafting up designs, creating sequential art like comics or animation, or writing stories about people going through life. My art was one of the first places I became aware I was autistic and it is one of my most important tools in articulating myself, in a world where direct communication can be difficult. Art was my first special interest and continues to be one of my most passionate.
The Neon God (2023)
by Vii York
About the artist
My work is all about blending pattern recognition with sensory experiences, using a neurodivergent perspective to turn complex inner worlds into fun and engaging visual stories. I see my canvas as a puzzle to be solved, carefully assembling it piece by piece with a mix of detailed work and bold, high-contrast colors.
I’m driven by a love for rhythm and quick visual results, so I make the creative process feel like a game—using intense focus as a way to explore and discover. Ultimately, my art invites you to see the beautiful balance within a mind that loves logic, play, and vibrant, intricate details.
Crossroads (2003)
by Quinn Marshall
About the artist
Art has been and is my path of least resistance and it is my life’s blood. From earning a BFA and MFA in printmaking and drawing, to what kept me sane during several years of unrelenting depression, the creation of artwork is where I can address and process myself and the world around me.
In 2022, I learned that I am autistic, and in retrospect much of my struggles and perhaps brilliance in my college years pursuing art has made a lot more sense. It turns out that I am just very neurodivergent and tend to worry about too many things, too much of my time.
And so I make art. I like “to play”. I enjoy “the beautiful”. But I’m also interested in the non-realistic. I attempt to use distortions and “the unexpected” to build stories that focus upon invoking emotions, and often speak of contrast, of struggle between life and death.
Crow
by Bob Richart
About the artist
I am Bob. I began making art in 2020 as part of my therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder. I was 64 years of age with no previous experience in visual arts. I never even took an art class in high school or college. I find inspiration in nature and in my imagination. I work primarily with watercolor. I also work with acrylic paint, ink, collage, and digital images. I like maps. I began showing my work to other people in 2025.
Overstimulation (2026)
by Claire Tipling
About the artist
I was late diagnosed autistic, but that did not mean that my neurodivergence wasn't present my whole life. My art was my way of expressing my emotions that felt too much for me to handle. The emotions were largely brought up by my being neurodivergent. This piece in particular was one that I have drawn in the past to get out emotions that I felt I couldn't express. My art has provided a way for me to express myself in an overstimulating world.
Cityscape (2026)
by Anna Hasselblad
About the artist
I used to make art more for the response of others or for my own expectations of what could come of hard work. And through that I learned techniques and had plenty of fun too, but it was really about the outcome, the final product. Now, as I embrace and celebrate my own neurodivergence, I make art for the joy of the process. My art doesn't start out with a goal or image in mind, and I intentionally focus on how I feel in my body and mind as I am drawing, painting, etc. If I feel more regulated and connected to the process, then my art is on the right track. Releasing the desire for a perfect piece has meant I can embrace a little mess and find more of the joy in making art. This piece is a recent example of this - no set image or goal, just flow, color, texture, and creativity. As I do this in my art, I look to other areas in my life I can apply this to as I navigate and honor my neurodivergence.
