Winchester resident, John Williams, an artist with Asperger’s, has an upcoming art show at Frameworks in Burlington.
For John Williams, creativity and art is one of the most crucial aspects of his life.
The Winchester native and burgeoning artist, is a graduate of Winchester High School and UMASS Lowell, where he earned a BFA in Fine Art.
Along the way, Williams has had to overcome Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism.
“For me, living with this disability is like having a TV turned on in my head with the channel changer broke/ Art helps me live with my disability. I can escape from the world and channel my energy into creations,†Williams said.
Williams’ love for art began as soon as he came across his first mound of clay.
“It started the moment I could even touch clay at four years old. Originally, I thought I wanted to be a sculptor. My collage work started in High School art class.”
