Beginner's Heart




Self-Portrait, Oil on canvas, 2015
I picked up painting again after having
my first daughter
I always want to start a painting blog but just delay and delay.  Finally... here I am!
To me, painting is the most theraputic process in the world.  I can be so focused and attuned to my own feelings.  In busy world nowadays, that is a precious moment for self-nurturing.

I didn’t have the luxury to learn painting when I was little.  I found my passion in painting only after I worked in office work. I joined painting class after work. Unfortunately, the long working hours could not allow me to continue.  Since then, I paint on and off for a few years during leisure time.  After I have my first daughter, life became even more intense and busier.  Of course, I enjoy my family time and playing with my daughter so much but I also felt parts of me has been detached. 

Luckily, painting found me again (sob sob...)

I started to paint again whenever my little sweetheart fell asleep.  I keep painting whenever I have leisure time. 

Through painting, I found myself again. 

As a mum and a working woman, I won't let people to define who I am.  I always see my genuine self through my artworks.
