An Early Achiever and outstanding Artist- Yaniv Janson

While most 18 year olds boys and girls are beginning to think about what to do after school, Yaniv Janson is a working artist and a published author.

Yaniv’s journey is different than other normal kids, born with Asperger’s Syndrome, antism-spectrum disorder characterized by social awkwardness and difficulty in communication. He used to be high school student and has turned instead to expressing himself through his art work, painting and books.

Yaniv published his first book Portfolio which was the collection of his works from last year, and this year has completed his second book Changing the World one Painting at a Time. The second book was created with help by his lovely parents whom aim to help people to think about making life-style changes that will make a difference to global warming.

Moreover, Yaniv has contributed his several paintings with many public societies, such as Hamilton architects and he has gained the opportunity to create piece for the New Zealand Clean Energy Centre in Taupo and a banner for Microsoft NZ. In addition, Yaniv also designs the T-shirt which has been produced by Wellington-based Company Kowtow.

Now a day, Yaniv still working very hard as the professional artist, he cannot stop painting in his life, and he never give up because of his disability. As a matter of fact, he looks like the outstanding and a high achievement youngest artist in my mind.
