We now also have a slideshow  with Marie's drawings of famous people (in  three parts)!

The third part is about half the size of the first two because at the moment Marie is concentrating in particular on our "Faces of Angels" project. We will update it when we have approximately the same number of drawings as in the first two slideshows. In the meantime, you can check Jim's site for the latest drawings. We hope we will be able to update it by mid-2024. Stay tuned!

Here are the current slideshows:

NEW - a slideshow with the first 100 children of "Faces of Angels". The order is numerical (because of the way slideshows are created) and not the same as on the "Faces of Angels" page, but we might change this in the future. If you are interested in a particular child, stop the slideshow and find the child on the "Faces of Angels" page.

We have also added some drawings she had originally discarded (for some unknown reason) because we think they should be shared with the world as they are really great. We don't have the original scans, but only reduced images Marie had sent to Paul a long time ago, but even in small size their beauty is evident.

We have even more drawings, but we have to organize things a bit (find out who the portraits are etc.), so it might take some time before we add more.

We decided to make it more exciting by letting you recognize the great people in Marie's portraits, so we haven't added any names. First we have artists, then cinema (actors etc.), then photos by Lee J., then musicians, philosophers, scientists, writers, and finally some uncategorized images. We hope we didn't make any mistakes, as we are not as smart as our unforgettable Marie.

***Please read the introduction to and reason for Marie's drawings on Jim's website, as they are very important for autism:

On Jim 's site, you can also find  credits for the photos that inspired Marie's drawings (when known).

 

Here is a drawing of Ludwig van Beethoven I would like to single out because of its message.

Marie has always found Beethoven very inspiring because of his genius, determination, and also because when he was alive he was misunderstood and ostracized by many people who expected normality from everyone. But he kept going, he kept loving his passion and didn't care too much about haters. He found inspiration and peace in nature and solitude, not in crowds or seeking approval from people whose approval was not so important anyway.
