ALTHOUGH Sherin Ng Lay Hwa is not of Peranakan descent, it is easy to think otherwise when one comes face-to-face with her stunningly intricate paintings infused with batik prints and elements from the Baba Nyonya culture.

Boasting an impressive collection of 32 artworks, which took three- and-a-half years to complete, she embarked on an artistic journey of self-discovery when she was 43 with her husband’s encouragement and support.
