__ Hello!
My name is Sia Joo Hiang.
I love to paint, draw and crochet.
I love that in Art no one can tell you what to do except you.
I love that in Art you can be angry and sad and happy and it can affect someone, but not in an aggressive way.

I draw my inspiration from my everyday experiences, things around me, people I meet. I am interested in real human feelings and experiences. But I am also interested in dreams. I find myself drawing more and more from my own childhood experiences and my daydreaming as I grow older as an artist. Art to me has to be true, and also gives me some kind of hope, or a space to become something else-to dream, to transform. I am not interested in meaning, as I don't think that is important.

All the things I do I prefer to keep them simple.
There are many other things in life that are important like looking at trees and birds, playing with cats and children, doing nothing (which is something very important for me)..... etc etc etc.. Obviously the hours are simply not enough!
So I don’t like to plan too much for my art. I just want to enjoy them.

Thanks for reading this and L.I.P! (Live In Peace)

Yours truly,

Joo
