2007 Started my first Chinese Ink Class at Confucius Institute as a form of relaxation with a bunch of friends

2009 A first for me, a newbie

Sage and Nature Art Exhibition 《一山一水一圣人书画展>, a joint effort with Confucius Institute, NTU in 2009 to celebrate Confucius’s 2560th birthday with Ms Grace Fu as GOH.

I became extremely hardworking and did at least a 100 pieces of drawing of 福 when I found out that people were willing to pay me for the words! This subsequently led me to World Vision as I wanted to help poor children

2010

In an attempt to help raise funds for World Vision in 2010 I organised an art exhibition with World Vision. It did not take off as intended. A failure or sorts? Not really, it was a journey into understanding and working with NGOs like World Vision.

You can view the intended pieces for auction donated by the various kind souls.
