About.
It all begins with the love to draw.
As a kid living in a kampung, I find doodling as the happiest way to create things. My favourite pastime was drawing an actress's head portrait with extravagant hair accessories. Those were the days when TV was the only means to connect with the external world, and I was fascinated by the Chinese historical dramas where the actress’s images came from.
Growing up, I always carry paper and a pencil with me. I later added watercolour during my teenage years. Eventually, I became an Architect working in London. At work, I use my drawing skills to design, and in my spare time, I paint.
This website is a way of sharing with the world my story through the lens of my artwork. I hope you enjoy seeing what you see.
By the way, my first name is Sheaufei. It is a Malaysian Chinese name given by my parents which alludes to the fragrance of plants at dawn!
