Colour exploration

I'm most definitely not a photographer, but I am undeniably a visual person. I ask people to spell their names (if they're complicated... which, in Singapore they often are), because I need to 'see' the letter-forms in order to pronounce it properly. I learn through watching others. It can be frustrating if you're trying to teach me anything. If you just explain it, I won't get it. But, show me – just once, I can do it. So, to make sense of this city I'm now living in I take photos of the things that catch my eye and then when I'm struggling with a particular painting, the colours, the forms... I turn to my images.

Fundraising pieces

I have two beautiful little nieces whom I don't see enough. But I love with all my heart. I'm sure they will both be artists of some description when they grow up... perhaps musicians or dancers, or maybe even painters. They are intuitive, creative and sensitive. Every year, their primary school holds a fundraising art exhibition and this year I will show two works. What an honor, to know that the sale of my paintings will have a direct impact on their education.
Below: studio shot of said works-in-progress and a detail shot.
