I was born and brought up in Hong Kong where I studied engineering and got a 1st degree from the University of Hong Kong.  I then went to England for industrial training and did research acquiring a PhD in engineering from the Imperial College, London.  In 1970 I came to Singapore to be a university academic, got married and took up citizenship.  I continued to lecture until my retirement as Associate Professor at the Nanyang Technological University soon after the death of my dear wife. 

Since retirement, I took a complete change to pursue my passion for creative visual art.  I am now active as an artist, initially doing sculptures and installation art, and subsequently attracted to doing oil paintings.  What ever is the medium, the style that I like most is figurative and realism.  My skills and my knowledge of these visual art media are acquired partly from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore, and very much from self learning. 

My artworks are a fusion of these three endeavors - my deep passion for excellence and creativity in visual art; my long-term interest in current world affairs; and my hands-on practical technical skills.
