I have been doing sand art performance for about six years.
Is this part time or do you have a full time job?
I was a fulltime hairstylist but now I’m a full time sand art artist.
What was your first public performance like?
I was invited by HELP University to perform at the Mooncake Festival. It was also my most memorable performance where I received my first thunderous applause.
What do you enjoy about doing this unique art?
What I enjoy most is the transition of graphics developed by the sand art that needs to keep changing during the performance.
Describe a normal day in your life as an artist.
I like to Google and watch YouTube sand art videos. Travelling too can help generate more ideas for my creations.
What is a common misconception about artists?
Although my performance is only three minutes, viewers have the perception that my job is very easy when in actual fact; it takes long hours of constant practice.
What are the challenges you face as an artist?
Sometimes the technical issue is beyond my control, for example, when the music player accidentally stops or the live feed projector malfunctions.
Besides creativity and uniqueness, what else do you need to in order to be a prominent artist?
I would say the exterior look: hair or costumes.

I invest in quality tools like cameras and different lighting sand boxes.
What is your ultimate satisfaction as an artist?
Being blessed with the opportunity to perform around the world!
How much longer do you see yourself as an artist in future?
Creativity is unlimited. I’d like to believe we can continue to create until 70 or even 90 if health permits.
What’s your advice to aspiring artists?
Be bold. When you find something that interests you, just do it![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
