Title
Does Not Define You
Artist
Taphath Foose
Medium
Painting - Watercolor And Oil Colored Pencils
Description
A portrait of a little blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy. He has the Autism colors - blue, yellow, red and green - painted on half of his face. This painting was inspired by my son who is autistic. It doesn’t look exactly like him but I also wasn’t aiming for that. To make it unrecognizable will allow it to represent any child.
Just as the blue, yellow, red and green Autism paint is a part of this boy’s face, it does not identify his face. Likewise, Autism is a part of you but does not define you. Rather, it’s the courage and the “pressing forward” through the difficulty and challenge.
SECOND PLACE tied-win in the ART FOR SOCIAL CHANGE contest on 6-27-23.
Does Not Define You is a 9x12 on watercolor paper. Painted by Taphath Foose.

Dear Taphath, I love how you softly wield POWERful portraits of STATEMENT ART…perhaps this is my FAVORITE! Those of us who suffer from the pain of “invisible” dis- eases often move thru life like soft trickles of water that carve their journey thru the mountains of life’s challenges …mistaken for beauty. This is my new FAVORITE of your portfolio.
