🎨Whimsical Blair Road Corner Shophouse 🏡
Walking down this historic conservation street, it is this corner shophouse that speak to me most with the vibes of the little cafe and young people having animated discourses under the beautiful architectural columns and striking green windows. So this oil piece was born :)

✨ For the love of Emerald Hill Shophouses 🏡
Because it is popular with Orchard tourists, we Singaporeans sometimes take our vibrant shophouse heritage for granted. It took me decades of painting before I even think of painting Emerald Hill. But an old online picture of the place with what look like mountains (instead of modern malls) in the distance spoke to me and finally got me to explore the place properly. "Unhidden" gem or not, we should love it more! So I finally did this painting with a composition mirroring the old picture even though it isn't possible to take a picture of this angle anymore. My mum love it too :) The original oil painting sold pretty soon though so now I have the art print to commemorate this art journey where I captured each individual shophouse down the row like a journey to the past, from the lovely green tile one that first caught my eye.

🎨🌸🌿 Highlights:• Available as an unframed poster or ready-to-hang pine wood frame that can match many wall colours.• Multiple sizes to fit standard frames.• Free delivery worldwide too !

🏡Memories of The Red Shophouse 🎨
I love this traditional corner shophouse at the junction of Joo Chiat-Koon Seng Road when it was this beautiful striking red colour, giving a worthy "fight" to the nearby rows of instagramable Peranakan houses that attract tourists every day. I believe buildings have soul and this gave me the feeling of a chinese bride in red headgear, hence the drama composition that was inspired by an old black and white photo of the building that I found online. Alas the shophouse has since been repainted in muted colours. There is a popular cafe and Peranakan museum there now. It is my hope that the building will one day regain the contrasting colours that so play out its beautiful architectural carvings again. Meanwhile there is my art print of the once red shophouse for memory sake (original oil painting has sold to the US) 😜
It is available as an unframed poster or ready-to-hang pine wood frame, with. 3 sizes to fit standard frames and free delivery included.

🏡✨ Famous Koon Seng Road Pink & Green Shophouses 🇸🇬
Every day hordes of tourists make the long journey here to take pictures of the colourful Peranakan rows in Katong-Joo Chiat. If only they would also explore the alleys like this peek view where I simply love the windows on the side wall, lamppost and pots of plants that frame the iconic shophouses. So my cat is the one admiring this unique view ;p

My most popular art print, this quirky shophouse at 185 Joo Chiat Rd with its distinctive dragon motifs that first caught my eye to paint, is now home to a popular coffee place (common man). Just love all the Peranakan creature carvings on this 1928 building that transcends the traditional past to the present vibes of the place.

Sharing my latest art print featuring Everton Road in Tanjong Pagar, with its undulating pastel hues and pre-war architecture of Singapore's historic street. The original oil painting was created each shophouse by shophouse however narrow the slit so that the entire quiet, nostalgic charm of this residential heritage street is captured.

Sharing my latest art print featuring the iconic Katong Red House Bakery, a nostalgic favourite that is the literally the cornerstone icon of Katong with its strong Red stature. This unique historic 2-storey shophouse was once the cultural heart of Katong—famous for its traditional curry puffs, soft swiss rolls, and even hosting local matchmaking sessions back in the 1960s. With its vibrant colour and heritage signage of "Katong Bakery & Confectionery" kept intact (thankfully!) after restoration, I also like that the connected development behind it matches the architectural elements of the preserved building so I included it in the composition (with a bit of artistic licence ;p ). The original oil painting completed this year is sold. Making the print available in 3 standard frame square sizes so that it can be easily framed, enjoy!

"Joo Chiat Corner" print of my fave neighbourhood painting but of course, my studio is here :) I love this corner because it has an interesting mix of both Chinese Peranakan and Malay shophouses, best reflecting Joo Chiat Road as a bridge between heritage Katong and eclectic Geylang Serai, best of both worlds literally. And I had to include the little school girl in the picture, not just because Haig Girls Primary is nearby but its also my alma mater :)
