As a typical wallflower, I enjoy observing and feeling much more than talking and can be an excellent listener with infinite patience. Although it makes me vulnerable and frail, it also makes me sensitive enough to notice beauty in all forms and sources. And that makes sense to me – being able to live and experience everything with the ultimate range of emotions and to give some meaning to this life on my part.
So here is a piece of my heart, my virtual hideaway, my place for refueling and recharging, a quiet garden for good thoughts and inspiration.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I draw and paint mostly to express how my inner child thinks and feels about the world, how it notices beauty in details and fleeting moments. My main medium is watercolours as I am fascinated by the fluidity and versatility of the pigments and its kinetic qualities. Over the years, I have ventured out and experimented with charcoals, pastels, Chinese paints, acrylic, oil, etc. but I’ve always come back to watercolours. It was my first love, and still my best love. Through my paintings with a focus on light and colour, I aspire to express an intimate, delicate and tender look at the beauty of life and nature.
PORTFOLIO
Please download my latest portfolio below for your reference.
To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.
To be worthy not respectable, and wealthy not rich.
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes, and sages with open heart.
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
– William Henry Channing
