The vase I got from Mona

This artwork is inspired by my short trip to Penang, Malaysia. One time I stumbled upon an antique shop where I found a vase that captured my eyes. This artwork features an array of flowers with dreamy colors that perfectly complement the vase's simplicity. I used acrylic paint and dry acrylic skin to create layers of texture and depth, adding a unique touch to the overall aesthetic. The painting's title, "The vase I got from Mona," pays homage to the antique shop owner, who graciously allowed me to take the vase home.

I am a Sydney-based artist originally from Sabah, Borneo. My creative journey has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity for beauty, culture, and the stories found in everyday moments. Before dedicating myself to painting, I spent many years travelling internationally as a fashion model, an experience that refined my sensitivity to colour, composition, light, and form.
Working primarily with oils and acrylics, I create semi-abstract works that explore memory, nature, and emotion. Rather than capturing subjects literally, I seek to express their atmosphere.
