About - MCAS

“As a single mother whose only happiness is seeing Dorjee's progress every day, through the decade of praying and supporting him I know I've succeeded, at least in my role. MOTHER! And more than that, I am grateful to be able to create a happy "destination" for parents like me when I see my child's happy smile, when he can be himself at My Corner Art Studio,."

(Mrs. Tam Trang - Founder of My Corner Art Studio)

The Story of Dorjee & The Inspiration of “My Corner”

Having Dorjee at the age of 40, I always yearned for a peaceful life for my child. But everything almost fell apart when he was diagnosed with autism spectrum syndrome at 15 months. After 10 long years to find the best method of raising him, I constantly pondered the question "Whether the international environment and integration center are the best choice for my child?"

And I found the answer during the time of Covid-19. Applying Homeschooling*, I found that the school program was too difficult for my child while not being able to cultivate the special skills that my child has. He has a special passion for painting and the art of Origami. Instead of having difficulty of reading and comprehension, Dorjee gradually changed more positively when he developed drawing techniques and other skills: piano and singing,... He began to express his feelings and thoughts through art. After a few years - something I had never noticed in him before.

Standing in front of the "treasure" of my son's work, I realized that the autism spectrum is not a barrier to creativity, on the contrary, it makes him able to focus on details and feel the way how to use Colors to interact with each other. The beauty of Dorjee's young mind and heart becomes clearer as art conveys, and I'm lucky to have found that answer in my journey of motherhood.

Dorjee is the reason My Corner Art Studio was born. Thanks to my son, I learned the most valuable things about being a mother are patience, love, and willingness to sacrifice for my kid unconditionally, with the only wish to see my child's progress. With a starting point of zero, from an ordinary woman with a stronger spirit than anyone else. Dorjee inspired me to build My Corner Art Studio - a place to teach painting to autistic children, a place to connect families with children with autism and spread meaningful values to the community.

My Corner Art Studio - a small corner to nurture the spirit of "warrior"

My Corner Art Studio officially opened at the end of 2022 with the initial goal of creating a connection point for "special" young kids, helping them to have a place for studying, developing their talents, and improving their communication via Art, where they are not judged, nor do they feel "different".

From the "nest" where they can express themselves, My Corner Art Studio is a place to help their dreams come true as young artists where their artworks are recognized by being introduced to the community.
