“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. A good artist lets their intuition take them wherever it wants to.”
Lao Tzu
As an artist and a designer, my artwork is influenced by my architectural education and the great lecturers I had during my formative years. Late Professor Jennifer Taylor introduced me to the Modern Movement and gave me the understanding and passion for minimalist concepts, especially Mies Van Der Rohe's "Less is More" and "God is in the Details". Professor Adrian Snodgrass nurtured my keen interest in symbolism in art and design with his wealth of knowledge in Asian, Islamic and primitive arts and architecture. Professor Tone Wheeler gave me the joy of design, the awareness and sensitivity for sustainability and environmental issues. All three of them, particularly Professor Wheeler, ignited the wanderlust seeds planted by my adventurous father.
Upon graduating, my first mission was to travel the world to broaden my artistic horizons. With that in mind, I landed a job in the airline industry. With exposure to people from all walks of life around the world, I developed an interest in social and cultural diversity. During this time I completed my postgraduate studies. Following an injury to my right hand, I embarked on a spiritual journey that expanded my intuition and the opportunities for more meaningful travel: both worldly and spiritually.
When you commission an artwork, a design or illustration from me, each will be intuitively crafted from a wide range of life journeys and travel experiences, especially for you.
