The Incredible Gift of Drawing Detailed Landscapes

 

New York

Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes…but to call him talented is an understatement.

As a child he was mute, and did not relate to other people, at the age of three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world.

When Stephen was about five, he was enrolled at Queensmill School in West London where the teaching staff first noticed his interest in drawing. As the years went by he perfected his craft.

One of the most astonishing and memorable moments was when after only a 20 minute helicopter ride over New York City, Stephan was able to draw the New York skyline, in pen, just from memory in only one week.
