Sam Tomasiello has been creating art from the moment he learned to hold a crayon. As an artist living with autism, he has found his voice through his art, communicating effectively through his bold use of color and vibrant aesthetic ranging from still life drawings to more abstract work. His art has been displayed in numerous galleries and community centers, and has allowed him to raise funds for autism awareness.


The Open Door Gallery is a gallery space for artists with disabilities, created in partnership with Open Door Arts, a program of Seven Hills Foundation. The gallery is located in the Higgins Education Wing and admission is always free.
