A Very BIG Commission

A Very BIG Commission

There is a kind soul who is donating $25000 to HCA Hospice Care for 5 pieces of my work. This is my BIGGEST COMMISSION in my art journey! I am putting everything aside for the next 2 months to just focus and paint these 5 pieces. #150 SUNSET is on hold. Thank God that my client was very understanding. Tomorrow, I begin work on #151 ! Bought my materials today and did a major stock up of acrylic paints as I don’t keep supplies of acrylics, I paint mainly in oil. I spent a big

Our National Flower is the Vanda Ms Joaquim

When I painted the orchid series 2 years ago, it was mainly to continue my series with a new floral theme for the coasters and placemats. I never thought that this piece would become one that would travel so far out into countries overseas and bestowed the honour of being presented as something iconically Singapore. What thrills me, puts me on seventh heaven, have me floating on cloud nine and I am so very humbled is that the prints are ordered by Singapore companies overse

The one feature of Facebook that I really like is "memories". They are stored nicely there, intact, for my own private viewing. This morning, I was pleasantly drafted back in time to a post I did in 2017. I had compiled the times me and my work had been featured in public media. I thought it a good time for me to step back and do a rewind. And so, I searched my posts. Here's an update. I hope some of my special clients/ friends (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)are reading this. A

#146, 147, 148, 149 and 150 Remembrance Series A collection of 5 paintings done in collaboration with Sound of Art Gallery and HCA Hospice Care. 24”x 30” Acrylic I wrapped up my art year for 2020 w these 5 paintings.

I began w a remembrance piece of a carefree and adventurous youth, then to a flashback of first love, to building a home with the love of one’s life, to an empty nest but one surrounded with

Remembrance Series for HCA / SOA partnership

This week I went twice and there are another 3 more meetings planned. I worked and will be working with patients at HCA Hospice Care. What really breaks me is that these new friends I made are all at the last chapter of their lives, literally counting the days. On each person’s lips, “last stage” is what I hear. It is heart breaking. Hats off to HCA Hospice Care, they provide at no charge, support and comfort, regardless of race, language, religion or financial status. Only

Tower Bersama

2020 is a year I will not forget for a long long time. The retail business tanked and a few of the tourists outlets where I parked my merchandise closed for renovations. Lockdown has certainly caused a lot of hurt to the economy but in spite of all that, I seemed busier than before, strangely the orders for painting jobs came, one , two, then three... it continued and then it seems like I have been busy the whole year long, working from one commission to another.

6 years and 22 fundraiser paintings

6 years and 22 fundraiser paintings

22 Oct 2014 was exactly 6 years ago. I remember being very excited to be approached for the very first time to paint for a fundraiser. I was very encouraged and very flattered but at the same time also very nervous because at the back of my mind was this question of “who will want to buy my work, practically an unknown artist wannabe?” Well, thanks be to God, someone did and today, some 20 over “fundraiser” pieces later, I share my joy that #22 was given away yesterday and

Pure Joy

Pure Joy

There is an immense joy that surges from within. Never in my wildest dreams have I ever thought I will become a full time artist, let alone have my works displayed in SUTD ( Singapore University of Technology and Design) , MGS (Methodist Girls’ School) and now ACJC( Anglo Chinese Junior College). Thank you so much for the privilege and honour. #TGBAG SUTD Library Methodist Girls' School Anglo Chinese Junior College
