Age 10 to 14

Trying my hand at batik painting—colors, wax, and a whole lot of patience! Not sure if I’m a natural yet, but hey, art’s all about the journey, right?

‘Coral Reef’ swims into its new home with an amazing collector! This piece, bursting with underwater magic, remind us that every brushstroke can create ripples of positive change. 

Thrilled to share this moment with this awesome lady who scooped up ‘Let It Rip’—my Beyblade-inspired whirlwind of color! This piece kicking off the Frienden Gallery and B Studio journey feels epic!

Starting 2025 with something new—experimenting with crayons and acrylics together! Excited to see where this creative journey takes me. Let’s go! 

Pinch me!!! @LewisHamilton just told me my art is proper and belongs in a gallery! Best. Day. Ever. THANK YOU, Lewis!!

Behind-the-scenes magic. Future gallery ready to shine in 2025! Big love to my MVP squad to help me with my unstoppable art dreams! 

I was so excited to contribute my artwork for this foundation to raise funds at their charity dinner. This piece is extra special because it’s all about resilience—just like my journey with SMA. 

I painted this volcano because it feels like all the stuff I’m dealing with inside—kind of explosive, but also really strong. It’s my way of showing what I can’t always say out loud.

It's all about creating pieces that feel alive and capture movement. This style lets me try difference colors and textures in new ways, and I'm excited to see where it takes my art. 

Super excited to be part of a group exhibition for artists with disabilities! Here are my proud parents with Philip Wong, the amazing curator and artist. And guess what? I sold 2 paintings!

Making art isn’t just about brushes! I use the stick to make cool textures and designs. It’s super fun to see what happens by painting differently!

Painting with the biggest brush I've tried is so much fun! For me it’s really heavy and hard to use, but I’m giving it my best shot. I can’t wait to see what my big, colorful picture will look like! 

I created some art which have been signed by football legends Teddy Sheringham and John Arne Riise to raise funds for an ambitious project. What an awesome experience for me at the game! 

Super excited that Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara (Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook) is hanging art by me and other young artists with SMA and other rare conditions! Their walls are getting a makeover, and it shows everyone how cool hallways can be. Great video too!

I was 1 of 8 "outsider" artists dealing with tough medical stuff, making a huge, mind-blowing collage together. This project is all about showing anyone can be awesome if given the chance, even if we are not part of the usual crowd. 

"Yay! I'm super-duper happy! I get to go to school for a few weeks, and it's awesome! Meeting new friends, and painting cool stuff together! Woohoo!"

I was in The Art For Rare Exhibition with seven other "outsider" artists like me. We painted art about community, sticking with it, being creative, looking on the bright side, and feeling happy. It was so much fun!

Guess what? I got The Jury's Choice award for an emerging artist in my age group!  I'm so proud and happy! Even though I have some difficult stuff going on, it feels amazing to be recognized for my art.

I got sick and had to be in the hospital recently, but don't worry, I'm feeling better now! And guess what? Mommy had a dizzy spell the night before, but she's okay too! Even with all this happening, I'm super excited because there's an art show, and I really want to go!

"I use fingers, brushes, and anything cool I can find. Painting is not easy because my hands are not strong & I might get weaker growing up, but I never give up!"

"He expresses his emotions through art, channeling his emotions onto a blank canvas. Art has made Branden a creative and vibrant individual, giving him an escape from his current situation." 

Here's an inside view of one of my painting sessions. This is with Uncle Nic, from the Art Lab On-The-Go under the Art For Rare Program.

I got the opportunity to try painting on a T-shirt. I struggled with my first try, but it was interesting enough that I want to try again. 

A few months ago I learned to create a water effect with a scalpel. I am trying with a much bigger canvas and a DIY "mop". Hmm, maybe yes, maybe no. I need to make some changes.

First time with a fan brush and a more minimalistic approach. This set is called "1-2-3" for 1 brush, 2 colours, 3 artworks". 

Why do you think I have left the centres, hollow?

The lovely flowers from my garden at home make me happy and here I am using flowers to paint this piece.

It is a large artwork and I am using a long bamboo stick with both my hand and foot to place design my rings.

I love this technique I find it so calming. I prefer not to tilt and spread the paint after pouring.

The songs and the singers and musicians inspired me to create an artwork, a unique colour, shape, size and placement for every one of them. Enjoy the songs!

It is playful and fun! Trying such a big piece for the first time. I need a better handle on the stick.

I like this effect! I can also blend with hands for the final effect I want.

Composed the first poem "I Am" in May 2022. My first reading I was nervous. Next time I must slow down and try to speak clearer. My poem s about how I feel about who I am.

This is hard, for me it is like lifting heavy weights. How else can I extend my reach and paint with bigger strokes?
