Memories by Kou Queenie

Queenie Kou is a Singaporean artist whose art journey began as a child, where she spent many happy hours doodling and coloring. In 1993, she completed a two-year Certificate of Western Art program at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. However, it remained a hobby. In 2015, Queenie decided to devote herself fully to painting, after a long hiatus because of work. She now paints from her studio in oil, acrylics, water colour, pastel, colored pencils, alcohol ink as well and mixed media. Ever curious, Queenie approaches her art with a playful attitude and a deep desire to discover the ways different mediums work to create what she wants to express. Her paintings could be described as realism based on abstract structures. Her works have been featured at several local and foreign exhibitions. A qualified teacher with the Ministry of Education, her love for teaching has also led her to conduct art classes in Singapore for both the young and old, islandwide.
