Elizabeth Marks

Elizabeth Marks, MA, museum exhibition curator and graphic designer, grew up with a passion for the arts and humanities and perused these interests through college, graduating magna cum laude from Lawrence University, with a BA in English. During graduate school, Marks developed an interest in people, their creations, and their stories and has since made a career out of exploring human experiences and stories through the development of museum exhibitions. About six years ago, when faced with a spouse on the autism spectrum, a child in need of an explanation, a family in need of dialog, and no readily available resource on the topic, she decided to do what was familiar to her – create a story. Personal experience, traditional research, consultation with other families, and the writing process itself all contributed to her understanding of ASD and family dynamics.
