Canvas artwork
Sebastián López Durán was born in Guatemala in 1986 and belongs to Asperger’s Syndrome. He paints in a self-taught way a vocation to relate to the world. He paints to express, he enters every day in the world from his autistic world. Cubism innate not learned, like the one that Picasso dreamed after his long journey. Cyclopean characters, with scratched eyes and strong hands of six and eight fingers. It results the eripheral visions. Houses, cities, windows, signs and more signs, obsessive world and explosion of color.
Golf canvas artwork
Amy Lourie is a Coach at The First Tee of the Palm Beaches. The First Tee has established Nine Core Values that represent some of the many inherently positive values connected with the game of golf. Amy encourages parents to reinforce these behaviours by talking about them, what they mean and what these behaviours can look like at home.
