Artist with autism presents portrait to KC mayor Pierre Owens drew portrait as personal challenge

Quote:
James insisted on meeting Owens, who is sharing a message to other people with autism.

“Never give up. Always be artistic, no matter what, no matter who you are, no matter where you live,” said Owens. “Never stop being you and never stop being creative.”
