THE MUSE PROJECT by JTMUSES
Commitment to Inclusivity: Empowering Through Art
Joyce's dedication to inclusivity is exemplified through her collaboration with the I'mable Collective of SG Enable and Market for Good. Notably, her mentee's quintessential Koon Seng Shophouse artwork was presented during the prestigious Enabling Mark Awards launch in August 2021, honouring 16 exceptional individuals and organizations. Witness the impact of art in fostering empowerment and unity. MEET MY DIFFERENTLY-ABLED MUSES:
Douglas T.S. Leong
Glimpses of Eden:
There is an Eden which we visit in moments of true joy and when we dream in the spirit.
We also experience this JOY when we give back.
Douglas was 3 years old when he was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder Spectrum, but this did not stop him from developing his interest in art.
A Temasek Polytechnic graduate with a Diploma in Media and Interactive Technology, Douglas enjoys creating artworks of drum sets, buildings and vehicles, his favourite themes are cityscapes and public transportation.
He exhibited at the International Art Expo in Kuala Lumpur in 2007 and has painted on canvas at My Art Space since 2009.

Since July 2019, I have been mentoring him in mixed media sketches using watercolours.
Jayden Ong
"I might appear normal, but I have unique needs, as I am autistic. My passion lies in the entertainment industry, particularly in animation and voice acting. My ultimate dream is to create a TV show inspired by my artwork."

Metta Welfare Artists
Re-designed collage of orchids and bud elements from NDP 2022 artwork represent the aspirations of 8 artists from Arts@Metta to keep Earth clean and green.
Check out the little critters! In many cultures, ladybugs are considered good luck. Farmers love them because they eat aphids and other plant-eating pests.

CYBER LION &
ARTSCIENCE MUSEUM
by Differently-abled artist – Ernest Wong, Muscular Dystrophy Association S'pore
Ernest often challenges himself as an artist and puts a lot of detail into each of his artwork.
For this piece, he uses adobe illustrator and recreates the mighty and historic lion symbol of Singapore as a cyber lion. He sees the future of Singapore as an intelligent city embracing the digital age in all aspects of work and play, especially in the way we learn.
The ArtScience Museum was depicted as it leads the future of learning with its immersive digital art experiences. The butterflies bring to mind how our green city island is creating Butterfly Habitats and Gardens to Enhance Urban Biodiversity.
