A different kind of oil painting: Mother and daughter paint a colorful life together

Cerebral palsy sufferer Song An-ting (宋安莛) is a student at the Department of Fine Arts, Chiang Jung Christian University (長榮大學美術系). Despite her illness, An-ting hasn’t become discouraged with life and instead created countless wonderful oil paintings. An-ting’s mother has continually supported and encouraged her and hopes that An-ting can find color in her life through painting. 

Song An-ting’s cerebral palsy is the result of complications at birth when her umbilical cord became wrapped around her neck and cut off oxygen to her brain, which also caused mental retardation and physical disability. Although therapy has helped Song An-ting overcome her physical barriers to walk, the treatment process has been incredibly tough. Each day An-ting’s mother rides through the campus on a tricycle to take An-ting to and from classes. An-ting’s mother hopes that by dedicating herself to the path of oil painting, her daughter can build character and find some color in her life.

就讀長榮大學美術系的宋安莛，是一名腦麻身障者，她沒有因為如此而灰心，反而是不斷的創作屬於自己的油畫作品，而背後的推手，安莛媽媽，也不斷的鼓勵安莛，希望安莛能夠藉著作畫找到屬於自己的人生色彩。 

宋安莛在出生過程中，由於臍帶勒頸，導致腦部缺氧變成腦性麻痺，同時為智能障礙和肢體障礙，雖然安莛在治療後可以順利走路，但治療的背後卻是相當的辛苦。安莛媽媽每天騎者三輪車，穿梭在校園裡，陪安莛上下課，媽媽希望安莛，能夠在畫畫這條路上繼續努力，因為在油畫的世界裡，安莛可以盡情的調出人生的色彩，繪出自我。
