Defying the stereotypes attached to severe autism, the 20-year-old has been featured on News Channel 5, given an honorary lifetime membership with Art Round Tennessee, and included in the Council on Developmental Disabilities’ magazine Breaking Ground for his stunning dioramas.
His mother Jennifer Gray stated, “As a parent of a special needs child, you’re always looking for what their gift is. You know he has one, but what is it? This work brings us together.”
“Since childhood, Thomas’s autism has meant that he has incredible focus. Add to that his ability to look at a picture and make what he sees, and it’s evident that Small World Dioramas was destined to be born.
During COVID, Thomas made his first 3ftx3ft dollhouse from a kit. lt took three months of his tireless, incredible focus. Small diorama kits followed. And in 2022, he made his first original diorama of The Exceptional Bean, a coffee shop in Cookeville, TN, that hires special needs people. ln two years, he made more than 30 dioramas many of which are local businesses. Working at his own pace, he makes nearly everything from scratch, which takes time…but it’s worth it and he loves to see people happy with his creations.”
This one day exhibit will feature 11 amazing miniature scenes. The exhibit is free and open to the public from 10am-4pm on Saturday, September 13. The Carthage Junction Depot is located right beside the Crump Paris sports fields, 185 Gordonsville Hwy, Brush Creek, TN.
