Dylan Kuehl is sole proprietor of DK Arts and a life-long resident of Olympia, Washington. An ambitious visual and performing artist, Dylan performs live in community dance events 2-3 times a year, as well as motivational speaking engagements. He art and poetry have received international awards, and he has had his work published in numerous publications including the "Washington State Adolescent Transition Resource Notebook”.
He is a Special Olympics gold medalist, studies modern, tap and hip-hop dance as well as martial arts and is a fierce rock-n-roll drummer. "I mean fierce in a good way, not a bad way," says Dylan." An outspoken political activist, Dylan advocates for himself and others with disabilities, proving through his large life that Down syndrome is not the obstacle it is often perceived to be. As of June 2007, he has established the Heavenly Dance Company, featuring dancers with mixed abilities who collaborate as equals in the creation of dance. He'd also someday like to start a children's band and a Talking Heads cover band.
