“I want to paint the nature and buildings in Singapore while they are still here.”

Lin Chan’s talent was discovered at an early age by her grandmother and mother. They arranged for her to be a pupil of the famous artist Chen Wen Hsi.

Lin Chan continued her training at the Singapore Nanyang Academy of Arts, Mid-Pacific College in Hawaii, Mills College in Oakland and the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence where she obtained a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art.

Whilst pursuing a career in Graphic Design, Lin Chan also devotes much of her time to painting her favourite subjects People and Places. In her words, “I want to paint the nature and buildings in Singapore while they are still here. I have this passion inside of me, I want to capture the feeling of what can become the bygone era, the lush tropical environment that personifies Asian living and capture the special moment in time on canvas when the tropical sunlight illuminates with a special glow.”
