About the Artist

Casey Vormer a.k.a. Remrov is an autistic and self-taught pencil artist based in Montreal. He specializes in realistic drawings of everything he finds interesting from animals to cityscapes.
​
Born in The Netherlands, Casey was diagnosed with classic autism when he was 21 years old. Casey started drawing at a very young age. As soon as he was old enough to hold a pencil, he was always drawing. He noticed that whenever he was drawing, people left him alone and didn't expect him to communicate. This made him feel safe, as he had a lot of challenges with communication and social interaction. Throughout the years it turned out that Casey had an incredible eye for detail and the ability to hyperfocus, which is depicted in his drawings.  

Casey started with drawing cartoon-like characters, and roadmaps. About thirteen years ago, he started focussing on realistic drawings of animals. As a huge animal lover he has always found it a lot easier to connect with animals, as they don't use verbal language and complex facial expressions. It's mainly for this reason why he has such a dedicated passion to draw animals. Recently Casey also gained interest in drawing cityscapes, and in June 2022 he finished his biggest endeavour yet -- a huge 42 x 74 inch drawing of Downtown Montreal.   

Casey's work can be found on several social media platforms like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and since 2021 on Tiktok, where he quickly gained a huge amount of followers. Aside from sharing his drawings with the world, it's also a huge goal of him to raise more awareness and understanding about autism.

Connecting with the Autism Spectrum

In 2020 Casey was hired by publishing company 'Callisto' to write a book about autism called 'Connecting with the Autism Spectrum'. It was a great opportunity for him to share his experiences as an autistic person, and hopefully to help a lot of people to better connect and understand with autistic people.  His book was selected as one of the 15 best books about autism in 2021 by Choosing Therapy. It is available on Amazon.
