"Exploring The Art of Jessica Park" celebrates the creative expression of an extraordinary artist and person. This book is a visual account of Jessica Park's lifelong struggle to overcome the pervasive developmental disorder of autism. The strength and determination of that courageous effort are present in her paintings with every line and carefully placed color combination. The range of Jessica's unusual imagination is contained within the power of her forms and brilliant sense of composition. Told in various accounts by art and autism professionals, as well as MCLA students who have come to know Jessy and her art in a special way, "Exploring Nirvana" reaches across the mainstream to delight and inform.

Art book about the autistic artist Jessica Park. Whilst I am not an art expert I thought that her paintings wre really impressive. A very individual style which I have never seen anywhereelse.
