Sam P. Irving grew up in Gilbert, Arizona and at the age of four years he was diagnosed with Autism. He drew pictures at an early age, showing skills in art. He drew on any paper he found, and often his drawings were insight into what he was feeling and thinking. Through early intervention, Sam’s language development and sensory issues were a focus of his therapy, and his art became very detailed. He continues to grow as an artist in the use of color, texture, and abstraction. He thanks the community of Gilbert for acceptance, integration, and appreciation of his art skills.
