When she was a schoolgirl in the 1950s, Lady Monjulee Webb never enjoyed her art lessons. In fact, she recalls, her art teachers at Tunku Kurshiah School (now Sekolah Tunku Kurshiah) in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan didn’t have a very positive impression of her artwork.
But at 50, the Malaysian-born, Wales-based Monjulee decided to "pick up a new skill" and learn to paint. For the past 23 years, Monjulee has painted more than 100 pieces of art and has had her work shown at exhibitions at a few art galleries in Wales.

I usually look at photos of my travels, and they gradually form in my mind into an idea I pick up a brush and let my brush do the drawing, says Monjulee.
Art is about self-expression. It’s therapeutic, says Monjulee. Lady Monjulee Webb
Monjulee's The Sweeper Crop is inspired by her travels to Africa, specifically Morocco.
The Anchor is one of Monjulee's favourite art pieces.
