Seeking ... and Found ... in Pekio Market

People who have known me for a while will know that I have been seeking and always in the wrong places ... it's always this hobby or the next ... man of passion, I was called, but never the right Passion.

Until I discovered salvation in the most unlikely place ... Pekio Market in Cambridge road, Singapore. It all started when Auntie Mei decided to uproot from the "atas" (means high class in Singlish ... the officially language of Singapore :D ) area and reached out to the people in the heartland by opening Heartroom Gallery, an art school, in the market and hawker centre area ... thus introduced "classiness" to the neighborhood. More than that, she is the pillar of faith in the area and beyond, and I am happy to admit that I am one of her converted flock.


I had the good opportunity to photograph her works. The painting on the left is one of the painting favoured and copied by a lot of her oil painting students.

In addition to oil painting, there are other art classes. I highly recommend the folk art class as it is definitely one of the best around.

And do drop in and chat with Auntie Mei if you happen to be in the are. She is always friendly and always ready to share and she has definitely brought light and hope to the Pekio area.
