Newly Released Art of Jean-Sebastien Choo, an artist with autism

Dear everyone: 

Please check out the "Newly Released" water colour paintings of Jean-Sebastien Choo (Sebastien), my 18-year-old son with moderate autism. We have also revamped the rest of the portfolios: http://www.awakeningminds.sg/sebs_raw_art.html. These highly affordable paintings range in price from $100-$800. 

We have been contributing 30% of the sales of the water colour paintings to A Mother’s Wish Pte. Ltd. (AMW) — a social enterprise that I have established, which is dedicated to subsidising and running activities for children and youths with autism (particularly those in the moderate to severe range) during the school holidays (http://www.awakeningminds.sg/amw/holiday_activities.html). 

In the long term, with more funding and resources, we hope to provide these activities all-year-round for youths and adults with autism (including Sebastien), which are badly needed in Singapore.

The remaining 70% of the sales will go towards Sebastien, the artist, for his challenging future. To date, Sebastien has sold 100 paintings. His paintings and his story have helped to raise awareness about the importance of supporting individuals with autism to navigate through their life journey.

Finally, do check out our win-win proposition for you to raise funds for your social causes, as well as AMW and Sebastien: http://www.awakeningminds.sg/sebs_raw_art.html
