01 · Fine Art Foundations

Material, memory and identity.

Early works move between drawing, batik and personal image-making. They establish the material curiosity that continues through the teaching practice.

02 · Mixed Media & Visual Experiments

Ideas tested through form.

Exhibition, identity and typographic studies show a broader experimental practice—using found objects, print, illustration and visual systems to make an idea tangible.

03 · Community Arts Education

A studio built around making.

Weekend classes with APAD at Telok Ayer Performing Arts Centre and Aliwal Arts Centre supported approximately 10–15 learners aged 4–16 through demonstrations, guided practice and individual interpretation.

2012–2014

APAD weekend classes

Multi-age community art sessions centred on accessible materials, visual references and structured experimentation.

Learning environment

Work made visible

Displaying student work turned the classroom into a shared visual reference and celebrated different approaches to the same brief.

Teaching principle

Guidance without sameness

Clear steps created confidence while leaving room for personal decisions in colour, form and composition.
