Born in 1966 in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia. |
| About the Artist | |
Being born Asian , I faced ridicule for choosing art as my way of life. That didn't stop me. Having travelled and lived with people from 38 nations, I am filled with various experiences which I love to share via my works. |

Maximum Exploration
2005 |
)
|
| Part of my journey of exploring into the realm of texures, combustion of colours and letting my subconscious create more. My child pointed out the face to me within the white cross. When I stood back to take a closer look, I noticed it looked a lot like him grinning! |

Strategic Asset~ Not for Sale

| NZ almost sold their Auckland Airport to overseas buyers.... but most of us locals were very glad the sale did not go through as we consider it a strategic asset we should keep for ourselves! |

Blue Fantasy # 2
2007 |
)
|
| Ater the hustle and bustle of a day at work, I want a sanctuary to turn to and so i created a little fantasy piece where I can look at and pretend I am living underwater in the safety of a huge swimming pool... with my sun / flower. Sometimes I am climbing the stalk of the flower, sometimes I am dancing along to the moving tentacles of the watery sun... all I know is that I am relaxed, I am safe in my special blue fantasy. |
