My path to becoming a natural science artist has been a long and difficult journey. I was born in early 1981 to a family involved in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) trade. At that time, Singapore was still a developing country. Most of my early interest in observing and drawing animals came from the materials in my parents’ medical store—jars of dried seahorses and pipe- fishes, sun-dried tokay geckos, bottles of monitor lizard wine, rhino horns, saiga antelope antlers, tiger and deer penises, snake gall bladders, dried snake coils, cicada molds, and other specimens.
