Hello
A hand-embellished print of The Feast of the Papilionidae, an original work painted on wood panel. I painted on the texture of wood grain in gold.
It all started when I was old enough to hold a crayon...
Hello there, my name is Rong and I am a creator. I paint, craft, experiment, and dabble in all sorts of mediums with all kinds of materials. I am inspired by life in all forms: the natural world comprising the various animal kingdoms, the construct of society which impacts the way we spend our lives, and the search for reason in life itself. I mull over both the mundane and meaningful, and find they often cross paths.
Though I was a creative child, when I went to university I studied law and psychology and became a construction arbitration lawyer after graduating. I spent several years embroiled in disputes. During this trying period, I found my calm in setting out bright colours in detailed strokes, painting Birds . I was promptly reminded of what I wanted out of life.
Please explore, engage with — and should you feel inclined — reach out to connect with me. I would love to hear how my work makes you think and feel.
