Opening Reception for Neurodivergent Artist Andrew Dodge: A Retrospective will be held on Sunday, September 10th from 3 – 5pm at the Dennis P McHugh Piermont Public Library and will be on display throughout the month of September.
“Passionate mark-making,” “full of energy and creative expression,” “Free and bold;” and “impressive powers of observation.” These are just some of the phrases that Andrew Dodge’s teachers and visual arts mentors use to describe his work.
Andrew was born in 1993 and diagnosed at the age of three with Profound Autism. Hyperacusis makes him sensitive to certain sounds, loud noises, and different pitches. He also has apraxia of speech, which makes verbal communication difficult. Since the age of three, art has become Andrew’s primary form of expression and communication.
“RETROSPECTIVE offers a compilation of Andrew’s work to date and demonstrates the power and sophistication of this prolific neurodivergent artist,” said Alexis Starke, Head of Exhibitions, Dennis P McHugh Piermont Public Library.
Dennis P McHugh Piermont Public Library is located at 25 Flywheel Park West in Piermont.
