 During Autism Month (April) internationally acclaimed artist and autistic savant Stephen Wiltshire came to Sydney to draw the cityscape for Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) from memory in Customs House at Circular Quay.
Stephen's amazing talent helped raise awareness about autism and lift the profile of Aspect. Explore the links below on this page to watch Stephen complete his drawing after viewing the city from Sydney Tower. In three days he completed a detailed A0 size drawing.
You can buy a copy of his drawing by clicking here - proceeds of the sale of this limited edition run will go to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect).
Stephen's visit was made possible by major sponsors the NSW Human Services department of Aging, Disability & Home Care, and British Airways.
