Only artist Gordon Chin from the Creativity Explored studio in San Francisco—a nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit and sell art—could have created such playful imagery.

One of his favorite foods—besides pizza and ice cream—this variety of donut appetizer plates is a quick study of a subject that could be endlessly explored.

Born in 1962 and of Chinese descent, Gordon has been experimenting with the many mediums offered at the studios since 2005. But since 2006, he has produced hundreds of greeting cards—most often with an image, a curious phrase, and a wash of watercolor.
