New award to honour artists with disabilities
The Straits Times
|October 20, 2024
Madam Moy Saw Han, 50, was a lawyer until she discovered after a fall in 2018 that she had glaucoma, leading to total blindness in her right eye and reduced vision in her left.
Her condition – where high pressure in the eyeball damages the optic nerve – was diagnosed after visits to the hospital following her fall. Madam Moy, however, refused to dwell on her circumstances and, in 2023, even discovered a talent for painting.
One of her paintings – a landscape vista of a field of sunflowers called Autumn Beauty – is now in the running for a new set of awards for artists with disabilities.
Known as the Neo Kah Kiat Arts Award, the new set of prizes were announced at the launch of inclusive art festival Shaping Hearts on Oct 19 by Mayor of North East District Desmond Choo.
