I love art. I enjoy admiring the creations of other artists. My interest in art is very wide. It spans from visual art, like paintings, scupltures, architecture, interior design and fashion design to performance art, like music and dance.

I get a lot of inspiration from nature, especially flowers because of their lucious and bright colours as well as their proportion, symmetry and form...wonders bestowed by God.

Music is also a source of my inspiration. My favourite genres are Bossa Nova Jazz and classical music. Bossa Nova jazz elevates my mood with its happy, up-beat and tropical tunes (Imagine yourself in a luxurious beach resort, lazing by the pristine beach and crystal clear waters, under the warm, bright sun, sipping fruit cocktail...get what I mean). My art work tends to reflect this mood with the use of bright colours.

I am classically trained in piano. Classical music is so inspiring. To me, it is an equivalent of watching "Lord of the Rings", like hearing fantasy. My favourite composer is Chopin. I am always deeply moved by the romantic and sometimes melancholic tunes of Chopin. Rachmaninov never fails to bring out the dramatic mood with its wide variety of feelings from sad to angry to happy to romantic. Grieg's music is like a painting. It draws you into the moment (imagine yourself galloping though the forest on a handsome stallion hunting for rabbits and foxes), so surreal.

I actually started drawing and painting at a very young age. I remember that I used to draw on my Chinese textbooks during Chinese lessons instead of concentrating on my studies...hahaha. I kind of lost touch with my artistic side for many years until recently and I am now hooked.

My greatest dream is to have my work showcased in world renown galleries and museums. My other dream is to be a concert pianist. However, I am happy and contented with my humble online gallery and entertaining myself on the piano.

This website is wholly created and designed by me. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back again. I will be posting my latest works from time to time.
