AR​T  AS  AWARENESS

I have a long history of working with children, young adults, adults, elderly, people with special needs, their parents, carers, teachers and support staff.

​

After almost a decade working as a corporate greeting card designer, textile pattern designer and fashion merchandising with Metrojaya Berhad (one of Malaysia’s leading departmental stores then), I left my high-profile job to work in Daybreak Centre and Association of the Network for the Needs of Children with Disabilities, Perak, Malaysia.

​

The position required me to teach, facilitate, provide support and counsel parents and carers with children with disabilities. Undoubtedly, the stint in Daybreak Center uncovered my hidden talent. I have not looked back since.

​

Subsequently, I moved to South London and worked for 8 years in a L’Arche Community where people with and without learning difficulties shared lives together, supporting in their daily lives at home and at work.

​

Later, I joined CareUK in Southwest London, a well renowned company which supports elderly people who have dementia and nursing care needs. My responsibilities included planning, organizing, teaching, facilitating daily creative activities and special events. I was instrumental in providing better communication which led to initiating and producing personalised person-centered photo journal for 99 residents and their families, visitors and people who supported them daily.

​

By training, I studied art and designing specialising in graphic arts and ceramics. Later I developed a keen interest in using art and creativity as remedial and counselling tools. During my career in the United Kingdom, I then trained in health and social care, art and spirituality and psychosynthesis.

​

I have exhibited my artwork at various galleries (UK) and commissioned to produce artwork, mural and ceramic ware (Malaysia & UK).

My most recent artworks are exhibited in C. Pariz Mueso De Arte (Hungary) and Mein Ding Gallery Studio (Malaysia).
