Finding myself through art is exactly what I did in 2012, when I started painting continuously for months, and I have not stopped since. I have had the opportunity to hold 3 solo exhibitions and 7 groups exhibitions so far. More on its way....
Whilst discovering my passion in art, I also had the urge to share ART, through the ART N EXPLORATION WORKSHOPS which I now facilitate for several Ngo, e.g. Foundation for leadership and Moral Empowerment (FLAME), My Shining Star Foundation (MySSF) and Gold (Generating Opportunities for Learning Disability) and corporate clients. To date more than 150 workshops for more that 1000 participants has been conducted. ART N EXPLORATION has become such a life changing program which has also enabled me to share this gift of ART with more people - a truly magical way to discover ones latent talent.
I have also had the privilege to illustrate a couple of books namely "Journey Through The Seven Valley" which is currently available in Amazon.com, and "Fajar Baharu", "Cahaya Baharu" both children's Bahai history book in Malay, which is being sold in Malaysia.
In June 2019, I had the opportunity to work with 2 homes with a total of 28 youths, where I conducted a weekly program called "ART & VIRTUES" - to take these youths on a path to discover who they truly are and to take them through a year long journey of painting and exploration. With the help of 2 beautiful friends, a couple of kind hearted souls and GHL Systems Berhad, who sponsored these kids, we were able to conduct these weekly workshop for a whole year.
Art has indeed taught me so much about life and it has been a spiritual journey and an awakening for me. I am internally grateful as I am continuously learning and growing as a person and as an artist.
The quote "Turn all your thoughts to bringing joy to hearts"...is what I hope I am doing through ART.
Thank you all, for your continued support, love and your generous sponsorship of these projects. I feel I am creating some small ripples in the art world and I must say, it could not have been done without each one of you.
God Bless you! Thank you once again!!!
With Loving Greetings
