Kelly Foo
In 2018, Kelly rekindled her passion for art after participating in a workplace retreat that introduced her to acrylic painting. Since then, she has been on a self-guided artistic journey, creating commissioned works and deepening her knowledge. In 2021, Kelly broadened her horizons by taking short courses on Western art histories at LASALLE College of the Arts, igniting a newfound love for the subject. It was during this time that she discovered LASALLE's MA Asian Art Histories programme.
Kelly's research is centred on the evolution of watercolour painting, with her thesis focusing on the intricate use of colour, light and shadow in this traditional medium. She aspires to curate exhibitions related to watercolour paintings and their connection to Southeast Asia’s history, as well as explore other art mediums, particularly Chinese ink painting and its historical significance.
