So far he has won a 1st place award for his painting "Blue Mountain" as well as a 2nd place award for his artwork at the Great Northern Exhibition in Collingwood. He has also won second place in his category for a painting at the Magic of Children's Art Show in Collingwood. This same painting "Changing Season" was also used for the front cover of the Collingwood Life's December 2005 Issue Newspaper in an article called "More Artistic than Autistic". Also, in May 2007 "Changing Season" was chosen for the poster and invitations promoting an art show at Artistic Revival in Newmarket, Ontario. This Art Show titled "Art of Living" was Josh's first Art Show and was hosted by Kerry's Place Autism Services and Community Living Newmarket/Aurora District. |

His artwork sold out so fast on the first day, and we excitedly ordered more for the last day of the show. There were around 1700 people in attendance, and it felt like each and every one took the time to come and see the artists. Even though Josh was up at 5am every morning he was enthusiastic about meeting so many people. He shook everyone's hand, signed prints and even handled the money. As his mother I could not have been prouder. Josh participated in a two-day art Exhibit with ERINOAK Central West School Support - (Program for Autism Spectrum Disorders). It was their Second Annual Conference and took place on February 21-22, 2007 at the Mississauga Convention Centre. In March 2007 at the Ice Conference Art Show held at the Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel in Mississauga, Josh was pointing out to "the customers" a photo of himself that was on the back of his greeting cards. He stated, "This was me at my first Art Show." His adorable dimples were very apparent and his confidence was shining through. What a blessing this positive response and support has had on him. I had tears of joy just watching him interact with people. Photos of Josh at the Symposium can be viewed on the following website
