Open-Ended: A Doodle Series
The Open-Ended series is a collection of doodles hand-drawn with Sharpie marker pens on paper. This series began in 2020, during a period when I found myself deeply immersed in art and crafts with my son amidst the global lockdowns. At that time, I was grappling with creative paralysis, uncertain of how to reignite the spark within me. But watching my then 2-year-old son play and scribble effortlessly with his colourful crayons, I felt a spark of inspiration. His uninhibited approach to creativity reminded me of the joy in the process itself—of creating without overthinking the outcome.
​
I began doodling daily, letting my intuition guide me. What started as a personal exploration quickly evolved into a journey of self-discovery, opening up a vibrant, colourful space within me. These early doodles laid the foundation for a series that has since expanded into digital illustrations, fabric designs, and wearable art.
By 2022, I began experimenting with blending my doodles with digital line drawings. I drew the outlines of each element, merging them with the digitised doodles from the Open-Ended series to create cohesive, final pieces.
Selected Works
​
Brain, Heart, Guts, Pelvic Floor Muscles
This series nods to the inner workings of my body and mind that sustained me through early motherhood: the Brain symbolises mindset, the Heart represents my core essence, the Guts embody the courage I summoned, and the Pelvic Floor Muscles signify my inner strength and power.
The Beauty of Motherhood
This artwork captures the essence of motherhood, highlighting the deep, unbreakable bond between mother and child and the profound connection with oneself.
Wearable Art by Ans.Ein
In May 2024, Ans.Ein, a Singapore-based fashion brand, turned artworks by six artists from Mama on Palette Singapore into wearable art as part of their newly launched "The Unseen of Motherhood" collection. ‘Create Magic’ is an artwork from my Open-Ended doodle series.
Acrylic Paintings
My acrylic paintings are a reflection of my ongoing exploration of colour, marks, and emotion. Each piece is an expression of my intuitive process—an ever-renewing journey where I let my emotions and instincts guide my brushstrokes. These works are deeply personal, often capturing the essence of what I’m feeling or reflecting on at a particular time, translating intangible emotions into vivid, tangible art.
