Description
This original watercolor piece, “Safe with Me” was created when Jalyn was asked to create music related art for an exhibit put together for The Art of Autism in Carpinteria, California. The exhibit debuted at Mr. Musichead on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California before traveling to Seven Sisters Gallery in Morro Bay and Bell Arts Factory in Ventura, California. Upon returning to Tennessee, it was included in the Diverse Arts of Monroe County at The Emporium, home of the Knoxville Arts & Culture Alliance.
