Launch of Sebastien’s Raw Art Portfolios for “A Mother’s Wish” campaign

Dear everyone,

For the past two months, I have been too busy with my editing work and homeschooling life with Sebastien to put up timely updates on “A Mother’s Wish Campaign” — to promote affordable quality programmes for youths and adults with moderate to severe autism. Now that I am more caught up, I will be putting up a series of updates in June to let you know about the different activities that I have been involved in to promote AMW:

• my participation in the 2^nd round of the SG Conversation on helping the less fortunate in Singapore;
• one-on-one meetings with interested parties;
• the start of a dialogue with the Disability Division of the Ministry of Social and Family Services (MSF) about “A Mother’s Wish” (AMW) campaign; and etc.

Each of these encounters has enabled me to continue to improve upon my vision of AMW, which I will be sharing with you in the coming weeks.

But, in this email blast, I would like to continue to raise funds for “A Mother’s Wish” campaign by launching the first set ofSebastien’s Raw Art Portfolios of water color paintings with pricing information, organised as follows:

• Petits Tableaux (small pieces)
• Humanity
• Nature
• Colors, Textures, Temperatures
• Artism — unsold pieces from the exhibition organised by LaSalle College of Arts students
• Sold — our acknowledgement of the generous buyers of Sebastiens’ artwork. 

Sebastien has been donating 30% of the sales of all of these paintings to the campaign. Thanks to another sale of Sebastien’s paintings and my picture books, the campaign fund now stands at $1,729.86. Regardless of the outcome of AMW, the fund will go towards programmes for youths and adults with moderate to severe autism and their families. 

Here are the different ways you can contribute:

1. Purchase a painting (prices range from $100–$800) for your home, or for your loved ones: Please email me, or SMS me at 8163-4509, to arrange a viewing of the piece in person. 
2. Tell others about them: Apart from families and friends, perhaps, you can tell your companies and get a piece or two to liven up your work environment for a good cause.
3. Online customised card option (for just $10): This service is inspired by what I already do with Sebastien's artworks — inserting them into templates to create a unique online card for your loved one. Check out a sample here. I am certainly open to other creative ways that you would like to utilise Sebastien's art such as creating a poster. Do let me know.

Thank you in advance for your support...
