Lupita Cano is a self-taught abstract painter who loves to share her unique perspective of the world through her art. Lupita, who happens to have Down syndrome, was born and raised in Seattle as part of a close-knit Peruvian family that valued and encouraged creative expression. 

After graduating from high school she began to search for a job that would satisfy her bold personality and unfettered imagination. During this time she began painting for recreation and soon discovered that painting was her passion and her calling.  With the support of her family, friends and her job coach, Lupita launched AE Designs by Lupita, selling note cards reproduced from her original paintings.
