Limei lives in Singapore where she studied oil
painting and figure drawing. She creates fine art batiks inspired
by the beauty of wild animal skins, aiming to capture them
"live" in her own interpretation in 2D form, showing
movement and the animals' characteristics. With her creations
she hopes to create more awareness of the plight of wild animals
which are only killed for the sake of fashion and décor.
She won last year's Wildlife Artist of the Year 2009, Open
Category award. Batik is an indigenous art in South East Asia,
and she uses the traditional method of tjanting with wax,
dyeing, fixing and the repeat process to achieve the result
she desires.
