Owen Shea is 15 years old, and is an aspiring photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of the world around me. He is autistic and has overcome many challenges but he hasn't let it stop him from following his dreams. His artistic journey began in middle school, where he honed his drawing skills and later developed a love for photography. He is secretary of his schools art club, and recently began his own business selling his pieces at vendor events, and has an upcoming art show next fall! He plans to attend college and major in business one day and travel the world. He resides in Speonk with his parents and his sister Emmy who is also autistic.
