My Work

Welcome to Seeling Art. I am an artist and art educationalist who specialises in working with children and young adults with learning differences. I am currently based in Malaysia and provide intensive training for young artists diagnosed with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Down's Syndrome. In this site, you will see more about my personal work. Most of my paintings and illustrations are in oil on canvas, watercolours, ink and colour pencils. I love to paint animals and young children to express my thoughts. I have also started illustrating and making picture books for young readers and adults.

I did squeeze in my time to work with oil on canvas last month.Tore wanted a painting so i decided to paint a portrait of him with a funny expression. It turned out well for an hour work. I even painted Adriana's portrait the following day at home. After completed both paintings i wanted to have one portrait for myself too. I was surprised to see myself ended up with this look but my students could recognise their teacher!

Something Missing?


Yes, I need my glasses on.


I enjoyed the free-flowing character of watercolour when i have very little time to work with oil on canvas. It was a good painting process exploring with minimal colour palette. At first i was just randomly painting dog, fox, birds and suddenly more and more cats appeared! Now i got some ideas to work for my next book about a fisherman and his cats. The image of Frida Khalo only came in lately when i was doing a research about her life as an artist after watching the movie. What do you think about her self portrait in blue hues?
