Mother and son
visual artists duo
Mendicino Art is a collection of visual art pieces by mother, Terry, and son, Chris, whose lives were affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.
​
They are a mother and son collaborative of unconditional love for both one another and art with
a goal to provide Chris an outlet to maximize his full potential despite the challenges that come with autism. Art has healed and transformed both Terry and Chris’s lives and Terry aims to help her son become independent and inspire others through their journey.
​
Through the challenging years, bonding together has included doing art therapy for both. They found comfort, acceptance, and independence while collaborating on several works of art.
​
Mendicino Art reflects the purity and love between a mother and son. They envision inspiring other families that may have faced challenges from disabilities and hope to help them find healing and strength through the Mendicino’s journey of art.
​
Mother and son continue to evolve as artists, exploring and experimenting with various techniques and tools.
