Hong Kong Museum of Art

I traveled to Hong Kong when I was teaching art in the Philippines. I loved Asia. It has always felt familiar to me somehow even since I was a young child. It was a modern active city, like Singapore, full of hustle and bustle. I am tall and could not always find clothes to fit me in the Philippines, but Hong Kong had wonderful tailors. It was a wonderful visit and a new wardrobe for me. But more than that it was the introduction to a new world of images, sounds, and a very different culture. Those images of Asia would last a life time for me and influence my art forever.

Singapore

Singapore Hello to you!

I spent one Christmas in Singapore, in my twenties, a long way from home. I remember thinking about my family and missing them and all the festivities of the holidays. I looked out across the city from my hotel room on a warm sunny day, it was hard to believe it was cold at home. Singapore is a beautiful city and takes such pride in its cleanliness. I had all these old Hollywood movies running in my head, that did not match the modern city I was experiencing. My brother recently went for an economic conference there and was very impressed with the city as well. So here is our nod to a great city and its arts.

I am listing the Singapore Art Museum website below. It looks like a wonderful museum. If you are interested in me listing other galleries or artist, please let me know.
