Artist Management
Artwork By TDT
(Fine Art industry)
September 2006 — Present (3 years 4 months)
Thomas D. Taylor is a professional artist who has been drawing and painting for 30 years. His artwork embellishes subjects via absence of shadow, vibrancy of colours, and smooth, small brushstrokes. His acrylic on canvas paintings range from modern and abstract to surreal but all fall under the artform he has coined "Precise Impressionism."
Mr. Taylor is a great believer in environmental, humanitarian, animal rights and Autism rights causes and is the co-creator of the International "Midnight In Chicago" Culture and Tourism Initiative raising awareness and funds for Autism. He is also an Administrator for 9 web-based forum groups for people with Asperger Syndrome. -

Elyse Bruce’s Education
-
School of Life
Raising a child with multiple disabilities, the learning curve as it pertains to Autism Spectrum Disorders and autoimmune disorders has been as intense as working towards a Ph.D. in science.
- Activities and Societies:
- Not everyone attends college or university to attain an expansive and well-rounded education. I have lived abroad as a child and as an adult, been educated in North America as well as overseas, and made the most of my talents, skills and abilities.
