Summary
I am a retired educationist who started actively painting in 2009, firstly realism then switching to abstract/impressionist work in 2010.
My first public debut was in 2014 when I exhibited in David Chew’s solo show and sold my first piece , The Vibrancy of Youth.
In 2016, I exhibited in London, alongside 9 other contemporary artists, following which 3 pieces were sold: Raining in Mulu, Jungle Harmony and Journey of Hope. Some of my works are currently exhibited in Dublin.
In between, I exhibited with the Sarawak Artist Society in Kuching and sold , The Sanctuary.
In recent years, I have done several commissioned pieces for new offices and homes. My works are predominantly sought after by the young corporate category.
I paint with a concept, an inspiration and a passion bringing in the colours and strokes that define the mood when the painting is viewed upon completion.
Of late, I have started painting with both hands and they compliment each other. I have attained my defining signature style .
Being a contemporary artist, I prefer to do a variation of styles and techniques . I paint with joy and passion and that’s the most rewarding experience!
