ENQUIRE

A quiet corner behind Swan Lake at the Botanics Garden, where otters dance in the water and sunlight drifts through the trees. Layers of acrylic and fabric guide the eye from the lush greenery to the sparkling lake beyond, creating the sense of stepping into a private, magical world.

This fleeting moment—soft, serene, and alive with light—reminds us to pause, take a breath, and notice the small wonders that quietly surround us.

Canvas Connections artist Jillian Cheong

Jillian Cheong

Jillian Cheong is a Singaporean artist who strongly believes that art should inspire hope and celebrate beauty. A turning point in her art practice was when she came down with Long Covid in 2022, with crippling fatigue, giddy spells and brain fog. This left her unable to fulfill her roles as wife, mother, daughter, and artist, and caused her to re-evaluate her way of measuring success, and to grapple with the concepts of identity, worth and value. Through this journey, she has learned to celebrate each moment and to value each individual for who they are and not what they do. These themes carry strongly in her artworks. Nature is often her source of inspiration, in both imagery and metaphor.

ENQUIRE

Beauty and wonder await us in many places if we only take time to look. 

A female scarlet-backed flower pecker flits about, feeding amongst the branches of a shrub at the botanic gardens, almost within arms reach. Tiny and easily overlooked, it is its loud bird song that announces its presence.

ENQUIRE

At the Singapore Quarry there is a small hidden stream that runs beside the sheltered pavilion. Dragon flies flit between the reeds, a splash of colour in the quiet and tranquil space.

ENQUIRE

A fern clings gently to the tree, its leaves unfurling like quiet prayers. Above, clouds curl and sweep across the canvas in luminous rhythm, echoing the restless skies of Van Gogh. The eye is carried upward, from the rooted to the infinite. This work whispers a simple truth: even in our lowest moments, wonder can be found—if only we remember to look up.

ENQUIRE

As you walk along the path at Lower Pierce Reservoir, you will come across a tree that peaks above the canopy. Cradled in its branches are majestic birds nest ferns, lush and resplendent in the morning light. A moment of quiet glory and awe.
