Instructor’s profile

Oh Mei Lee graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2002, majoring in Printmaking and has since taught visual art for different schools and centres.

Her prints are inspired by objects around her and their connection. She has always been fascinated with the form and shape of a bottle and the quality and strength which it’s able to restrain. In some of her current prints, she has included both the images of the bottle and her dogs, which often depicted a clownish expression on their faces to express thoughts and connection between these two subjects.
