DANE CAPO, 27, Southern California native who grew up in the beach culture of Hermosa. He currently resides in the Tampa Bay area where he has opened a gallery in Largo. Dane started painting at 16 while being homeschooled. He was studying the Master with his teacher when he decided to paint Henri Matisse’s self-portrait. Dane’s rendition showed savant-like talent. His fearless use of bold colors did not stop there. 10 years later, after numerous art shows across the country, media coverage, and exhibits, he landed on the stage at Fashion Week 2022 and a paid partnership with Footlocker. Dane continues to create more of his own Masterpieces and gain recognition as an artist who happens to have autism. When not painting, Dane enjoys shopping, gardening, traveling, and having dinner with friends.

At age 2, MARGIE-LEE was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and did not speak until age 10. Her father did not let her attend high school for fear of how other kids would treat her, so she spent a lot of time in her room drawing and reading dictionaries and encyclopedias. Since she began drawing, she has blossomed into a talented individual capable of creating beautiful works of art, ceramics, and jewelry. She is a constant student at VSA Florida (Very Special Arts), works at PB HabCenter, is a Special Olympics athlete, and a member of Artists with Autism. On the Asperger’s autism spectrum, she is high-functioning but will never be considered “normal” due to developmental delays in processing information and certain behavioral characteristics. Art is her passion.
