The Edmonton Examiner paid Chrysalis a visit in December 2008.

Autism and the need for expression; this was one of the main focal points of interest for a courageous reporter by the name of Kevin Mainmann.

Kevin’s mission became and adventure, to capture the essence of what a man with Autism can do to be understood.

With every word coming out of Marco’s mouth, Kevin descended deeper and deeper into a world of clowns and pirates. With one sentence Marco managed to capture the interest of this fine reporter. With opened eyes and mind, Kevin sat, Kevin listened and Kevin travelled.

Out of the cold and into Marco’s clown bedroom.
Where Kevin was sat and sketched and was sent on his way, in the same manner in which he was invited.

This article is a great and thoughtful expression from the view of Kevin Mainmann. A challenge conquered by both Marco and his new friend Kevin.

Enjoy.

Marco's night to shine was another success, the night was shared with Marco's family and friends.

Marco is one of our most versatile artists, everything he touches becomes a piece of art worth looking at, worth contemplating over.

Marco is also one of our most successful artists selling most of the pieces he displays.

Through the open eye of the public and the support system in place, Marco's future is promising.

Enjoy.
