Lee Hong Geok has been interested in art from young, painting her own Christmas
cards and sketching, but it was only after resigning as a teacher about ten
years ago that she could take up painting seriously. In 1998, with guidance from
Ong Kim Seng, she decided to devote her energies to watercolours. Her most
recent work show her growing competence with the medium, her compositional
skill, her grasp of the atmospheric quality of her surroundings, and her ability
to transcribe exactly what she sees in terms of light and a feeling for the
poetic aspects of landscape.
