Artful healing: Newcomer artist's first solo exhibit is a tribute to her late father


‘Most of the pieces depict a little girl who I relate to as myself, and she is either falling, finding or wandering in search of meaning or peace amidst the turmoil in her head,’ says Boudville about debut solo exhibition. Photo: Kimberley Boudville

Kimberley Boudville’s first solo exhibition is a poignant tribute to her father who died from cancer late last year. The collection of work featured in My Journey at Artemis Art in Kuala Lumpur revisits her difficult year.

But although it is tinged with sadness, ultimately, the story she tells is also one of hope and acceptance, and hints at her resolve in staying strong in the face of adversity.
