Doreen is involved in conducting soft skills workshops such as customer service,
creative thinking skills, communication, leadership, facilitation skills etc.

Having done some watercolours since secondary school days, Doreen decided to
pursue this interest again when she complete her MBA in 2003. She tried all mediums
and has since been doing oil paintings focusing on colours with themes stretching
beyond all genres.

Doreen's signature style is her creative usage of abstractly beauty color patches. Artists
like Pierre Bonnard inspires her with his use of colours while Botero with his unique
creation of voluptuous form and the contrast in the size of the subject that he paints.

Her creative process involves sketching her subject, then evaluating what kind of
atmosphere or goal she would like to achieve, for example, She would like to make the
object realistic and yet it contains the elements of abstraction within it. At the same time,
create space within the painting to make it atmospheric, therefore achieving an ambient
or mood in the painting.

Currently, Doreen is working on a series of Internal & External spaces, with a setting
that is indoors and an outdoor , both within a painting. This painting is about the
contrast between inner and outer world, exploring the delicate balance that we all have
within our own inner and outer worlds.

In the near future, Doreen aims to have her own exhibition both in Singapore and
overseas, also to have a cultural exchange with artists from overseas and learn from
them about their own creative process and their source of inspiration in life.
