Born in Nashville TN with Down Syndrome, Bernadette has become well known in the art community worldwide.
Her exposure to the art world and culture started as a child attending as many art galleries, museums, concert halls and plays as her time would allow.
From an early age she was encouraged to draw and color in her own style as a form of expression and therapy. This has resulted in a body of work which documents an artist developing a unique style entirely her own.
With an artist grandmother and a mother fully committed to allowing her to use this medium of self expression for as far as she would care to take it, Bernadette now exhibits in numerous art galleries, art and craft shows throughout south east and attends many conventions throughout the United States showing and selling her work.
Check out her work HERE. Check out her wedding photos HERE.
Notice a similarity amongst all the folks I'm telling you about. (Besides Down Syndrome) Notice the artistic talent and creative outlets they were given as children.

I love these daily stories. I think this woman was in the Nashville paper. She and her story are familiar to me.
