The Theme of the Sydney based Affectors exhibition on this occasion was entitled "Cause and Affect" . For my cause I chose Autism awareness with the title of my 2 pieces of work being Reflections.

My youngest son was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome from the age of 3 so I wanted to create a strong contrast between both my illustrations in style and approach to show how he has developed and grown over the years.

The younger illustration is more painterly and whimsical with the more mature version being tight and photo real.
