Ipoh girl finds a home and career as an artist in The Netherlands


'I paint what I feel and use different techniques. Every piece has a story,' says Megan. Photos: MEGAN LEE

When Megan Lee was growing up in Ipoh, Perak, she never envisioned that she would one day end up having a family and living 10,000km away in The Netherlands, let alone slowly making a name for herself as an artist!

But that’s exactly where destiny led her. Today, an artist and art teacher, Lee has settled down in the beautiful canal-ringed Dutch town of Delft, known for its hand-painted blue-and-white pottery and famous artist Johannes Vermeer. Married to a Dutchman, Lee has a 10-year-old daughter, Qi Maya.
