Artists often use their work to share a message. A local painter and poet who is nonverbal also uses his art to be heard. Charles Lenny Lunn is autistic and has apraxia, which prevents him from speaking. In the studio, Lunn uses rollers and brushes to express himself. His style is modern and uniquely his own. His paintings are colorful, bold and sometimes paired with poems. To write, Lunn points to letters on an alphabet board dictating his words to a communication partner.
