Where Art Becomes Healing

One of the most defining chapters of my life is my journey as a caregiver to my daughter, Christine — an autistic artist.

Christine did not paint before COVID. In the stillness of that season, art became her language, her therapy, her voice.

 

Today, she represents the autism community locally and internationally.

This journey birthed Yato Art in Autism Gallery — a space where art restores dignity, creates visibility, and supports autism advocacy, especially in African and underserved communities.

Here, art is not decoration.
It is expression.
It is healing.
