FrontlineArts 52 Reasons to Love a Vet Residency

I am honored and excited to be the first recipient of the Frontline Arts 52 Reasons to Love a Vet Residency wherein I intend continue my ongoing print series “Puddle Jumping” which celebrates a treasured outlet that my son and I share and shows how as autistic individuals are more than capable of knowing how to let loose and have fun. This series will not only explore the innocence of playing in the rain and jumping in puddles but also the bond my son and I share in our love of water and spending time together outdoors. -Mark Oldland
