Art lessons that encourage you to have fun, discover your inner self and voice and boost mental health and creativity.

Thank you Women Who Win for featuring my story on your platforms. I hope that my sharing gives inspiration and insight to readers and fellow artists, and benefits those who wish to embark on a new journey.

The fields are a metaphor for the cycle of life and our life journey. I have learnt so much during my visits: Each time I visit the fields, the view changes as I see the different stages of paddy plantation. But always serene, always expansive, always inspiring. ❤️

Short video of the paddy fields of Sekinchan, Malaysia, a source of inspiration for my paintings. Hope you like it, especially those who’ve never been. Have a great day!

Everything that is transformed inside can be observed outside. Time is an eternal moment. Just as a single drop of water holds the heart of the past, a single moment holds the heart of all time. The past and the future. Those who grasp the moment grasp the wholeness of time and its journey.

In this exhibition, we artists tell our stories and life experiences. I share these 3 paintings that tell of my love for travelling and my experiences of the wonders of the world and its people. A graceful Balinese dancer and how their dance came about. The first bend of the mighty Yangtze River in China that has served millions of people through the ages. A lotus pond in shimmering pointillism sunset light.

This month of October is Mental Health Month. I am an advocate of art therapy and the important role it plays in improving one’s mental health. I am honoured to collaborate with esteemed psychiatrist, Dr Frank Clark, in creating this art for his beautiful haiku. Thank you Heidi Anne Duerr and Psychiatric Times for publishing our collaboration in promoting mental health.

When I’m not busy creating art, I spend time with Chloe, Ashton and our dog Chewie. The positive thing about Covid lockdown, working from home & online schooling is that we get to see our children a lot more. The downside is trying to find activities during the long summer holiday while being stuck at home.

It was a honour speaking to Biswarup Bhattacharjee (BB) & Keisya Prasetyawan on Spill The Tea podcast (about unconventional people). We talked about how my stints as a lawyer, a restaurateur and a conference producer shaped me as an artist.
