I'm Charlie, I'm an award winning autistic artist and entrepreneur

I am 17 years old and I am an autistic artist from Melbourne. Being autistic means that my brain works a bit differently. I started having art lessons when I was 9 years old. 

I’m learning how to run my own micro-business and I would love to be a famous autistic artist. Read more about the Charlie By Art Microenterprise or follow me on Facebook or Instagram.

Original Artwork Greeting Cards

Art Design for the Premier of Victoria

In 2019, the former Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews,​ asked me to create an artwork for his Christmas card. This is what I drew.

The Premier asked if I could include some construction in the artwork so I added cranes, trains and a tunnel boring machine. I really love how beautiful Melbourne is when there is a sunset. Underneath the city is a rainbow serpent to help protect Melbourne.

It was a great honour to produce this work for Dan.
