ROCKLIN — A local artist is representing the Greater Sacramento region in a nationwide art auction with one amazing mission. All proceeds will go toward disability awareness in the workplace.
Despite the smile, life for Brenna Kandoll has not been easy. The Rocklin resident lived their whole life knowing something wasn’t right. But it wasn’t until Brenna was an adult that they got some answers. They were diagnosed as autistic and had a genetic disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
“My diagnosis at 22 actually ended up saving my life and making me into the person I always had been,” Brenna said.
It was art that helped cope with pain and help express emotion.
“Art to me has been a childhood hobby, then it was a desperate lifeline when I needed it,” Brenna said. “And now I hope it can be a path for my future.”
This makes Brenna the perfect fit for a nationwide art auction to raise awareness for people with disabilities in the workplace.
