"These are like some decorations around this."

This pint-sized artist paints flowers and other pretty pictures. A stark contrast to the devastation left behind in tsunami- stricken japan.

"I saw people drawing"

Tuesday Muse's mom, Keely, says the 6-year-old wanted to help after watching the news.

"I told her I'll give some money. I'll do it right now online. But she was like, what can i do?"

Muse suggested her daughter hold a fundraiser.

"Is aid, what are you really good at? And she said, I'm an artist, so I want to make art."

"I was trying to do a window sill but this was blue "

Muse says she kept bucketfuls of Tuesday's art from preschool. Tuesday hand-selected dozens of pieces and is now selling her work to raise money for the victims.

"This was an extra bonus."

Maria Lyons bought two pieces. She plans on framing and hanging this picture in her son's nursery.

"It's just kind of a constant reminder in our house of thinking of other people and doing good things for those who aren't as fortunate."

So far, Tuesday's collected nearly 300 dollars!

"I'm going to give it to people who don't have it so they can buy more stuff like houses and stuff."
