allie artTM is the colorful creation of Allie Guard, a creative woman with Down Syndrome from Cincinnati who is drawn to the magic of color.
Using colored pencils, she fills intricate patterns with bright hues to create graphic landscapes, each with unique qualities of movement and emotion. After completing a design, the artwork is either framed for display, turned into wearable art in jewelry and accessories, or added to usable items such as book marks, ID badge reels, and bottle stoppers. Allie's mother, Sharon, takes care of the production process. All pieces are one-of-a-kind and guaranteed to elicit smiles. Check out this story on Allie from Channel 12 by clicking
