It has been two months since this exhibition but the memories were still fresh in my mind.

This exhibition was initiated by Solmaz Pessian https://www.facebook.com/SolmazArtStudio/  

and

Faramaz https://www.facebook.com/womansartbyfaramas/

both extremely multi-talented Iranian women. They have been residing in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia for several years now.

I was truly honoured to be included in this collaboration.

This is the first exhibition for Solmaz as a colour pencil artist and she is extremely passionate in what she does. Her goal is pretty similar to me, hoping that this medium will be taken seriously and that coloured pencil art is not child’s play.

Faramas is a fashion designer by profession who is gaining vast recognition locally. She has been actively showcasing her fashion works and exhibiting her artworks internationally.

Both Solmaz and Faramas planned and did all the ground work for this exhibition. I was not much of help because I live in Penang, a 4 hours

The Fine Art of Colour Pencil exhibition was held in The ArtESpace www.theartespace.com, Straits Quay, Penang on the 23rd to the 30th of November 2014.

This exhibition was a collaboration between myself and Barbara Moore https://www.facebook.com/BarbaraMOOREart/,  a Canadian born artist currently residing on the Penang island.

Up till today, I still could not believe I did an exhibition of my art work in 2014. It was a very memorable and unforgettable experience because Barbara and I both organised the exhibition all on our own.

Barbara came up with the idea of doing an exhibition early 2014.
