Bird of paradise Tiffany Choong The great Spanish artist Pablo Picasso once said “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” When it comes to her art, Tiffany Choong has similar convictions about its purpose. “The intention of my art is to bring joy and celebrate life by giving a voice to nature and wildlife and shining light on certain topics to create enlightening conversations.” Adds the Penang-based artist: “I feel like I have grown in confidence and I am grateful that I am still able to pursue this journey. The adage ‘life is a marathon, not a sprint’ really holds true for artists. It takes a lot of time, dedication and commitment to endure the course, and the course at times feels like a treasure hunt with the lights off. Having a vision and purpose has helped me to stay focused and motivated.” As a child, Choong’s ambition was to be a ‘hippie traveller’. She recalls with a laugh: “I didn’t know at that time that it wasn’t considered a career. I saw all these backpackers arriving in Penang, and I wanted to do the same thing - travel the world!” She may be all grown-up now, but Choong’s free-spirited persona and wanderlust cravings remain unabated. In 2019 alone, she managed to visit Singapore, Portugal, Britain and Germany. “In September 2019, I attended the launch of Fear Not by Dublin’s popular poet Stephen James Smith at the Embassy of Ireland in London. I am over the moon that two of my illustrations were included in his book. My art has connected me with many amazing people and I am thankful.” Morning has broken Live by the sun, love by the moon 31 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020 | TM
