About Me

My photo
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I have been creating art throughout my life but it was not until the beginning of 2010, having ample time in my hands that i started creating art on a full-time basis. I am a self taught artist, having no formal education in art, painting solely driven by interest, love for art and passion. Occasionally, dream and emotion inspired. As an emotional painter, expressing myself in my artwork is as important as it is for me to breath. Expressing myself through art enables me to reach deep down into my true essential self and share that state of interconnectedness and "entanglement". When an idea becomes compulsion, I express it. I believe that Art is an essential requirement of living. I am from Sarawak, a Malaysian born and raised in Brunei Darussalam and lived in Miri, Sarawak for most of my adult life. I am currently residing in Kuala Lumpur. I have two beautiful children.

Pray for Japan, Pray for all

NOT FOR SALE

What would it take for us to realise,
the things which are important in life,
and those which are not.

Do you believe in prayer?
that it brings HOPE, even when you think
it doesn't make a difference to the other side of the world?
Trust in God with all your heart.

The Marionette

The Marionette
AVAILABLE
Size: 20x20 inches
Acrylic on canvas

"The Marionette. I was a marionette. Lifeless, motionless and willing or not, able to live only in the hands and at the will of the master puppeteer. Pull one string my hand moves. Pull another my leg. Yet another my heart breaks. Pull them all at once, I was torn apart. I came a long way down a lonely, painful road. Searching for truth, finding only lies. Finding pain where pleasure should be, emptiness, not fulfillment". 
(extracted from the internet).



"How ridiculous I was as a Marionette! And how happy I am, now that I have become a real person/woman" ~ anon.

White Doves


'White Doves' (of divine love)
SOLD

I saw a band of God's angels today, as i knelt before my window to pray....
My thoughts of love were of you, for in my heart i felt that you were blue.
I asked God to please keep you safe, and place a sweet smile upon your face...
To let you know that i do love you, and my faith will be forever true.
He sent his angels to answer my prayer, to let me know how very much you care...
In a flock of white doves circling above, he showed me thoughts of your true love.

Moment filled with memories
She stoops to fix her shoe
Her heart is racing quickly
Her dress rehearsal due

Stage is like an ocean
Where crystals seems to shine
Beckons her to dance upon
Reflections of life's time....

Tranquility

Posted by Picasa
SOLD

Tranquility

Reclined, the body...
while the mind moves briskly in solemn meditative visions
Tranquility, the moving factor...
as the world around, becomes obsolete for awhile
The sights are inward, and the sounds too...
seeing repose- hearing music of love
The calmness that is fenced in, fuels a soul in temporary salvation...
free from all ills and external forces;
resting peacefully... aloof of all conflicts
A tranquil gateway to a place of absolute peace...
where all inhabitants are related and share a common purpose;
love, joy, smiles, hugs, kisses and eternity forever
Prayerful and free to the end of time...

SOLITUDE

Solitude
acrylic on canvas
20x30 inches
Posted by PicasaSolitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.


Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your own presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement Quote by Alice Koller

attitude - gratitude

‎"Half of the pleasure of painting and feeling the joy of the creative act is sharing it with others and the feeling of connection. It could just be the colour. But it is something that someone other than you has seen and felt. It is momentous. It is magic". ~ (Sara Genn)


What is the value of art? Honestly, I really don’t think that art has an enduring value. A piece of art is divine to one man and ridiculous to the next. All art has local and temporal value—though some are fortunate to outlive others. But pieces that evoke wonder and appreciation and awe are definitely of utmost emotional value to anyone with an open mind or heart. For me, the pleasure of painting is sharing it with others, after all the essence of all beautiful art is gratitude. thank you all for your wonderful support.


"For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends". ~ (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I don't, for the record, have a Tweety Bird fetish

Cat: (my cat) Isabeau ~ the meaning of the name Isabeau is 'God's Promise'


When God Made Cats


When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the bear He gave strength, to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness; to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. And all these were things the animals begged of God. At last he came to the end of the line, and there sat the little cat, waiting patiently. "What will YOU have?" God asked the cat.


The cat shrugged modestly. "Oh, whatever scraps you have left over. I don't mind."


"But I'm God. I have everything left over."


"Then I'll have a little of everything, please."


And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal, and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace and elegance and, only for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm and comfortable home.


But he took away her false modesty.

my childhood garden, lush and green, it was so happy it made me scream, my joy and hopes
and all my mopes, my childhood garden

my childhood garden, with the ups and downs, when i jumped i could not touch the ground, with my purle ponies it made it homey, my childhood garden

my childhood garden, flying high with the little lies, the grass fine, up in the sky my kite,
my childhood garden

my childhood garden , now in the past, i now know that it can never last, now as i get taller
it was differnt when i was smaller, my childhood garden
