We were very privileged to hear from mom Marilyn Bercovich, whose 24-year old son, Aaron, is a unique artist working in a unique medium; LEGO® bricks. As the parent of a child living with autism, Marilyn has a special perspective on helping her son to find his gift and create his own path in life.
What started as play and a creative outlet has now grown into a small business, with Aaron creating original and commissioned works using only the iconic building blocks as his medium. Having built store display models for the busiest LEGO® Store in Canada, Aaron now creates portraits, corporate logos, and transforms almost any image into a beautiful art mosaic. For a young man that thrives on organization, following patterns, and being precise, he has found a niche that is ideally suited to his skills and personality. With support from Marilyn, and family and friends, we look forward Aaron's continued growth and success as an artist, entrepreneur, and a young man building (with LEGO®) his own future.
