Artist Caitlin Cropp reflects, “Hello! My Name is Caitlin, I’m autistic and live an hour and a half outside of Chicago.
Ever since I can remember I’ve been drawing and painting. In middle school, my teacher would get annoyed because I would be doodling on all my worksheets in class.
When I was little I told everyone I either wanted to be an artist or a singer when I grew up. I joined choir and art classes and was even in a band for a short while. However, it was painting that ultimately captured my soul.
I won an art award in middle school and an art trophy in high school. I’ve since studied at Rock Valley College and have displayed my artworks at a few local art exhibits. Ultimately, however, I’m still learning the ropes on managing my own business and working from home.
My art reflects what I enjoy most: nature, tea, moss, clouds, and cats. My interests include hiking in the woods (sometimes barefoot), watching thunderstorms, social justice advocacy, singing, and hanging out with my husband and two cats”.
