Brush of Giftedness

This is a collaborative book of original poetry and painted artistic interpretations of famous art. Original poetry is composed by arts educator Elizabeth Michele Cantine, author of Graceful Gratitude - A Book of Holiday Graces. Artwork is by Heidi Dong, a gifted artist with autism. The main goal of this unique and enlightening book is to show that those with autism, Down syndrome, and other challenges do not need to vocalize - the arts validate their volumes of verses. This book highlights the gifts and geniuses of past and present artists. Brush of Giftedness is for those who recognize, appreciate, and inspire the giftedness in themselves and others.
