George Widener is an autistic savant and artist who exhibits his work in North America and Europe.
Born in Cincinnati in 1962 to uneducated, working class parents, George demonstrated prodigy traits at a very young age and won the majority of the scholastic awards at his elementary school. As he became older, George's mild autism (later diagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome) became a factor as he became eccentric, socially aloof, and often obsessed with arcane subjects.
George creates contemporary artwork and is known for his memory for calculations, calendar dates, census statistics, and historical facts[1].
