Dana is the owner of AngelArts, a Creative Arts Agency, Publishing House, and Enrichment Program. In 2008, she discovered that her son and husband both have Aspergers. It's opened up a whole new world for her and her family. Yes, there are incredible challenges, but she chooses to see how God has blessed her family through it.

Her son created a painting that became an inspiration for her Autism Awareness product line, Autism: God's Bright Kids. She also desires to publish a book called "Angels in the Midst: Rising Above Autism and Aspergers," a collection of stories, poetry, videos, and artwork about how God uses ordinary people in the challenge of living with Autism and how He works in the midst of it. She is looking for submissions, sponsors, and nonprofits to give a portion of the revenue to. Please comment if you are interested.
