Painting is my creative outlet and it allows me to express myself. I love portraits. The human facial expressions and form inspire me and make me want to capture and paint them.

​I have been exploring with different medium such as oil, pastel and acrylic. ​Painting at My Art Space has helped me improve on my artistic sense and techniques. Currently, I am working on my first group exhibition. It will be with 5 other artists and will be held from 11 to 24 May at Sprmrkt, a lovely café at 2 McCallum Street, (see link). I venture into this to challenge myself to produce a series of work and also to work with other artists.

Art has definitely enriched my life, I have become more aware of forms and colors around me like never before. It makes me “see” better and makes me more alive! It is not something that I can easily put in words.

Why choose painting? I am always curious and always looking for an art form that can sustain my curiosity and keep me excited as I age. I find painting to be that and it is more age friendly too. I used to quilt and sew but it gets harder with age due to my eye sight.
