a walk down memory lane

I have been digging into my numerous art portfolios of yesteryear and walking down memory lane as I unroll my drawings and dust off my old paintings.

Have a look at what I unearthed recently:


a cubist ink drawing of moi (1992)


me holding an onion (how symbolic!)
chalk pastel/conte (1999-2000)



gouache paint in a multi-colour me (1999-2000)


chalk pastel and peeking self (1999-2000)

These are all self-portraits drawn for my various drawing classes over the past 20 years. I swear I'm not vain. Well, maybe just a little - but these self-portraits were requested by my art instructors over the years. Frida Kahlo did several self-portraits of herself too so self-portraits is a common theme in art.

I have plenty more drawings/paintings to scan or photograph and upload. Some really weird stuff from my abstract Salvador Dali-inspired days. Like this one for instance:



an oil painting called "Hush" (1993)

Stay tuned...
