Paintings by a Young Man Living with Autism
Living Purposefully — Painting and poetry have paved the way for me to shine my inner light. These pieces of work capture my passion for life, my zest for creativity, and the eagerness to express myself in a way that conveys the richness us autistic individuals have. My hope is that my readers see what I see, that is the truth within each and every one of us, which shines bright like a diamond buried deep inside the cave.
I strive to create work that inspires and illustrates all of which I have to offer. My hope is that others can witness the light we all share, one which is of a divine nature. Art is a powerful tool to bridge the gap between us, and to dissolve the barriers between beliefs and backgrounds. Through art, we can create meaningful connections and gain insight into our world.
My mission is to inspire, uplift, motivate, and create pieces of work that offer bits of wisdom and insight into the framework of a nonverbal autistic individual. There is so much untapped potential in all of us. I hope by tapping into the wellspring of my mind and articulating my sentiment in a creative fashion, I can propel others forward who may be stuck in self-doubt and empower them wholeheartedly.
Joey Lowenstein created his first abstract painting in early 2020. As a young man living with autism, Joey uses painting as a mindfulness exercise that promotes creativity and rest for his active mind. For the painting titles and poetry, Joey spells out each word on a keyboard which one of his aides holds — he is not verbalizing these writings except an occasional word after he spells it. These two creative outlets help Joey find his voice.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Joey Lowenstein Family Foundation (JL Foundation™) is to be the catalyst in giving those with autism who are voiceless, a voice. In the world of autism, many with vast talent are unable to share their inner thoughts simply because they cannot speak. No one should be without a voice. We want the voiceless to be able to communicate effectively so that they can reach their fullest potential. We want to break down communication barriers for these individuals, letting nothing stand in our way.
