Happy Monday.
Now that I have painted these nostalgic traditional lunch boxes from my childhood, it’s time to learn to cook the food that goes inside.

The red tiffin carrier. These remind me of my childhood when they were used to bring food from my grandma’s house to our house for lunch in Penang. It’s our local version of a traditional lunch box.

Happy Sunday. Follow the light home.
Sketch of the day in my moleskine sketchbook is of floating lanterns for spirits to be guided home.
It’s about 3 weeks too early for lanterns but I know if I don’t sketch it I’m going to forget this day.

A prayer for our departed loved ones
Sketch of the day no 1227 in my moleskine sketchbook : Giant joss sticks.
It is ghost month and the Chinese believe that the gates of heaven and hell are open allowing spirits from the other realm to roam free on earth to visit their loved ones. The tradition is to give offerings to our ancestors and other wandering spirits to appease them

The scent of home. A capsule collection of botanical watercolour paintings for Josh Lee fragrances.
I had this idea to collaborate with Josh Lee fragrances, a talented independent fragrance maker, and a good friend of mine. This capsule collection is my visual scent of home which perfectly compliments his perfumes that are inspired by our hometown of Penang.
Sometimes my vision stays in my head forever and this one is one of those projects which took a while to evolve in my mind.
Hope you like them 🌺❤️🌹
