I’m excited to announce that in April this year I will be exhibiting some of my new work!

The global pandemic has been long and tough. Aside from the obvious risk to physical health the past year has had a significant impact on mental health too. The necessary rules around social distancing have made it hard for those in the arts to reach their audience. Equally it has been hard for those of us who get pleasure and inspiration from music, dance, plays, film and exhibitions, it sometimes feels like an enforced and rather dreary cultural diet!

Therefore, I’m very happy to say that I will be holding a small exhibition of my latest work under the theme “A Child’s View” at the Singapore Musical Box Museum from the 17th April 2021.

The Musical Box Museum is a delightful treasure in Singapore, and I’m excited to be able to collaborate with museum manager and curator Takumi Minami, to display my paintings in his newly created art space on the first floor of the museum.

All of the paintings you will see on display are for sale (collectable at the end of the exhibition) and I have decided to donate part of the proceeds to a children’s cancer charity.

I also want to thank Daniel Teo, whose support has been instrumental in making this happen.

The museum space complies with all of Singapore’s social distancing and Trace Together controls to ensure that your visit will be a safe one.

So please come along and visit the exhibition. I would also recommend a tour of the Museum and the magical musical boxes, as it is a really unique and precious experience.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of her is more than I can see.
She is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see her jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

[My Shadow – Robert Louis Stevenson]

You should try some of my ice cream it’s really good I say
There was some chocolate on the outside, but it’s been mostly licked away
The cone’s a little soggy but the taste remains the same
So try mine just a little bit and I’ll try yours again…

At the end of 2020 I was interviewed by Sophie Bila from Fluorescent Creative.

Fluorescent is a network that supports and promotes inclusion and diversity in the creative arts. It’s a vibrant and positive platform, where professionals currently working within the creative arts industry can share their experiences, stories and work.

It was fun to do, although English is not my first language so I was a little nervous about talking for so long! I’ve known Sophie for a long time and am so happy to be able to collaborate with her on this.

I hope you enjoy the video and please follow the Fluorescent Creative network as there are some fascinating and humbling videos from other artists.

You can follow them on Twitter or via their YouTube Channel

Experiences in their small lives, fleeting yet impactful.
In a passing moment, a nexus of thought and growth, changing the way they look at the world.
Gently coercing the paint into unique swirls and patterns, they open a door to a world of creativity…

I’m excited to announce the opening of the HEYMIWA online store! Currently I have postcard prints of my original works, on sale in packs of 5 or 10.

With most of the world in isolation due to COVID19, and many people unable to physically connect with friends and family, sending a postcard is a way to remind the ones you love that they are in your thoughts.  If they are really special, you could send them a different postcard every day for 10 days!

The cards are all standard postcard size and are miniature replicas of the original works. You can send them to friends and family or keep them for yourself! This is the first step towards producing more replica prints of my original work, so please watch this space and feel free to contact me directly if you have any special requests!
